| Whats your favorite book to read?
LOL! i have to say my Scion xb's owner's manual if fun to read. it has so much info, haha!
in one part in the book, it tells what to do if you got locked out with no spare key. in the middle of that paragraph, it reads "If you must break a window to get in, we suggest breaking the smallest side window because it is the least expensive to replace." i mean, wow, does it have to tell people which window should/shouldn't break? i rather call AAA or something... |

If you enjoy the xB Owner's Manual so much, you should be sure to pick up the other two books in the trilogy: The xB Repair Manual and the xB Wiring Manual.
Those two books are even more riveting, and complete the rather complex and involved story that begins in the first.
Like the first volume, the other two are illustrated, and in fact the third volume has many full color illustrations accompanying the text.
I enjoy my copies!

| Oh yeah, there's also "Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn" plus any kind of mythology (Greek, Roman, etc.)
So, anyone else have any favorites, manuals or otherwise? | |

| I'm a big Tolkien fan, and have been since I was 4, way before the movies came out. My mom used to read the Hobbit to me as a bed-time story lol. I also enjoy Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler, King, Michael Chrighton (sp?) and I like to dabble into the mythology stuff too from time to time | |

| You know if you read the Owner's manual so much you can get the CD rom version of it (so cool) and watch them act out everything for you!! It's cool. But my favorite books are Wicked, The Abhorsen Trilogy, and any manga (Japanese comic books). I've seen a Toaster in one once. You better believe it. | |

| I'd have to say Modified mag is by far the fav but, I have read The DiVinci Code about 5 times now. Also I like Red Dragon and the books before them. I like the mystery/murder novels. | |
