Interesting books that found me

Many people ask me what influences have shaped my life. Obviously family, friends, education, and work come to mind. But many people don’t realize how much of a role books have made in my life. I know that many of you reading this blog article are probably interested in automotive technologies on one level or another. Over the years I have read a lot of books and I have compiled a short list of the ones that I found have really been good. Some of them are automotive related, and others are just simply good books to read.
