QuoteMy copy I got off the net is missing a few chapters I think?   ;D

I hope this is a joke.  I just thumbed through my copy and the pages seem to be numbered without a gap.

It'd be a major downer to be into the story and find a part missing.

Pics of the big guy? Jeez I hope not!

So far, it's Chris', excuse me, Ralph's epiphany.  His moment of grace as Flannery O'Connor would call it or a Proust "moment precieux" when he decides to go racing.  At least, that's what they'll say in the New York Times review.  ;)

I've only been able to get through about page 50 today since I've had my hands and head full of other stuff, but this is a really good read! It's hilarious to recognize some of the characters in the book.  Midwesterner's will chuckle through the first few chapters describing neighborhood motorcycle shops, BHF, CCS and, well, several of you.  It stirs up the memories of going racing for the first time.

Besides that, it's a totally down to earth. colorful and entertaining story of a guy taking up racing and I can't wait to pay my bills on this computer and log off so I can get back to it.

;D

P.S. Any of you old enough to remember the smell of mimeograph paper as the teacher handed out the printed forms for you to do your book reports?  (No? Ooh, it got lonely in here all of a sudden.)

I got my book today!  Yay!

Of course, I have to finish this god-awful but well-written other book I'm reading first before I can start it.  Never mind the other three I have going right now, too!  Jeez!

Now all I need is my autograph.

What is that, "What to expect when you  are expecting?"? BTW, are you still cleaning or flying somewhere?

Don't give up on your dreams! If an illiterate like K3 can write a book, imagine what you can do!
