READER'S CORNER... Shares favorite materials

Rick Jenkins, a local auto parts store owner, is currently reading “The Best American Sports Writing of 1993,” edited by Frank Deford. He states, “I bought if off the bargain pile at Barnes & Noble, and it’s fun and interesting reading that you can pick up and put down easily.” Rick would also recommend The Fifties, by April Halberstan, reporting that, since he grew up in that decade, the oook really made him think about his perceptions of that time, giving him a different perspective on the people and events which have influenced life as it is known today. If he were going away for six months, and could take only one book, other than the Bible, for reading, Rick would take War and Peace, saying “I’ve never read it, but I think it might be a good sixmonth challenge.” Required reading for all high school graduates, in his opinion, should be In Search of Excellence,” by Tom Peters, “because I sense a decline in our society that this book illuminates.

er, I believe Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen Covey might be a better guidebook for young people.” Asa child, Rick enjoyed reading James Bond mysteries. Magazines regularly included in his reading materials are Time, Runners World and trade journals. If he could spend an evening with any author, Rick would choose David Halberstan, feeling that this author is really perceptive and able to bring focus to large events and issues. 4
