Oliver Twist and NASCAR


What do Oliver Twist and NASCAR have in common? Absolutely nothing, except that I am currently reading Oliver Twist, and a book on the history of NASCAR, Driving with the Devil: Southern Moonshine, Detroit Wheels, and the Birth of NASCAR. I am enjoying the heck out of both of them! I really didn't think I would like Oliver Twist, as I have a fear of Dickens that remains from my high school English class, but I am really getting in to the humor. Poor Oliver! What hideous adults surround Oliver! Driving with the Devil is great fun--I love reading about the wild roots of NASCAR! It is well-written and fast-paced (no pun intended).
