Default Great Read

I just got a copy of "The Old Man and the Harley" by John J. Newkirk. What a great read. I almost NEVER read the same book twice, however as soon as I finished it, I started over again. Almost finished it again and like anything else, I've noticed things that didn't soak in the first time through. By the way, its a true story.

Good book. Quick read. Interesting the way life and America used to be like.

I'm almost finished with it and really like it but personally could have done with a little less of the military story.

When you finish it, you will see how it all ties together.

I liked it quite a lot.

Will re-read it soon, as I enjoyed it that much.
