Folks,

After spending many hours waiting for a retrieve after
land-outs and waiting on a grid for a couple or more
hours each day at last year's Region Six race, I realized
it would be really great to have a book on board.

So, what books should I put on my reading list. A
small, paperback book that can be easily stuffed into
the glider would be the ticket.

While glider related books would be on top of the list,
what else do you think would be great reading material
while sitting in a field with nobody but crows looking
(and laughing) at you?

Thanks,

Ray,

You might try Jacques Barzun's 'Dawn to Decadence;
500 Years of Western Cultural Life.' If that's too
heavy try PhilipWill's 'On Beinga Bird'; you can find
it in used book stores on the net.
