The History of Yugo...Now that has to be exciting!!
I also highly recommend The Art of Racing in the Rain. A fictional story, and not focused entirely on racing, but still a good read.

What have you been reading for 18 months? Must be quite the book.
Did anyone hear my Audible advert spot?
Only if you have started to sound like Steve.

It's called Shantaram and it's a 1000 pages, but my biggest problem is finding time to sit down and read between dealing with a 2 acre garden, 2 German shepherds and discovering RU. I started it on the plane to Canada when we moved and seem to manage a chapter every month or two recently. I used to read a lot in the UK, but then I had no pets and the garden took about 2 minutes a week to mow the lawn.

I looked it up on google books. Looks interesting, but long.

My Dad recommended it, but he had 4 months off work travelling to get through it. It is an amazing story given that it's true and I'm only just over half way through it.

I've downloaded it for the plane to Europe. I'll let you know how it is!
I'd also recommend Enzo Ferrari - A Life, doesn't look like it's on Audible though, so I guess it would have to be an old fashioned book.
