It's that time of year, BOOKS

[Dude! Sweet!]

Since we're slipping into the realm of non-boating related...

I read this last year and found it to be a useful and enjoyable read.

I also have good things to say about the Seloc Yamaha outboard manual that I have. And that the so called Distopia of Huxley's Brave New World really sounds quite pleasant when you think about it.

"Speed Kills" Not necessarily a good book, but another viewpoint on the Don A murder

I found Speed Kills a difficult read.

saw that, is it boat related ? or just a great read ?

In a roundabout way yes. Deals with Drug cartels in the late 70's and the islands.

"speed kills" is a tough read - I bought a used copy on Amazon a few years ago.
It gives another perspective of Don's death.
It tended to jump back and forth from the people involved, and I found it hard to keep track of "who did what"
You'll understand as you read it.
It's certainly worth the read, but a difficult one.

I am 1/2 way through Speed Kills. After reading Blue Thunder which raised questions and then provided answers/even if hypothetical you felt like it got resolved. SK is a book of excerpts, changing subjects frequently with no real conclusions given. Lots of unnecessary details that don't add to the story.

Great thread Tim

Speed Kills is an old book. I believe I read that 15+ years ago. A lot of sketchy speculation due to being written shortly after Don"s death.
I think more details were known by the time Blue Thunder was written.

Is Turning the Tide kinda tied in with Blow?
