I love a good book tape! So far, my favorite all time "car book" author is
Stephen King - simply because his stories are so suspenseful (even if not
always realistic). I'm waiting for my mom to finish the newest John Grissom
(sp?) book - I hear this one is his best yet. I listen to an average 6 hour
book tape in 4 days just on the way to & from work. I can't always make it
to the library before they close, but Dillon's rents them for $1.00 a week.
