I've most recently read Neil Gaimen's 'AMERICAN GODS' and Clive Barker's 'SCARLET GOSPELS'. Both were excellent reads. American Gods is actually the first Gaimen book I've ever read and I plan on looking into his other novels. I devour anything written by Gaiman - easily my favorite author... If you haven't read Neverwhere or Stardust, I highly recommend both... Just finished reading the Dark Tower saga for the third time... Better every time... Gonna move onto some Joe Abercrombie next... Extremely gritty fantasy stuff.

My last two trucks have both been Tacomas. Last year I bought a 2017 Toyota Tacoma and before that I had a Tacoma that lasted me nearly 13 years (and would have lasted longer but I wanted to upgrade.) After driving nothing but Hummers and RAM's the last 15 + years, I'm leaning hard toward buying a new Tacoma. You can get one absolutely loaded (including a lift kit) for under 50k, a steal compared to most new trucks. And as I'm sure you know, the resale value on them is insane. I've seen many w well over 100k miles go fast for around 15k. I'm pretty much sold. Just need to settle on black or white w black rims. yeah, when I traded in my old Tacoma last year on Memorial Day weekend as part of the deal to buy my new Tacoma, I do not recall how much I got for it but I do remember it was more than I expected

I'm reading Crazy Like a Fox: The Definitive Chronicle of Brian Pillman 20 Years Later by Liam O'Rourke. I'm about a third of the way through and it's the best wrestling book I've read since The Grappler's a few years ago.

Update: Done with the Pillman book. Of the 30 or so wrestling books I've read, this one is easily in the top five, if not the #1 book.

Just read The Grappler's autobiography, which was fantastic. Written with lots of humility and a great insight into the territory days from the late 70s, up until the dying days of the early nineties.

I remember when the Grappler's book came out and he was doing a lot of managing at local shows. I would try to corner him to sign the book. He had a kid watch his merch table and he would come out at some point during the show without his mask to collect his things. I recognized him sans mask but he was always so quick that I never got the darn book signed. It was fun trying though.

Grappler's book is definitely one I'd like to read at some point.

I read Rowdy: The story of Roddy Piper over the weekend. It was pretty good but not in the top ten.
Since I'm obsessed with Paperbacks from Hell by Grady Hendrix, I've been tracking down 70s horror paperbacks to read.
