I would LOVE to retire down to somewhere in Florida, but I'm afraid that all the older baby boomers will have already moved down there by the time I get the chance. I visited Naples, FL about 10-15 years ago and it was beautiful. I just want to find a place that hasn't become like California. Not crowded at but It was December. I'm sure it gets nuts during the summer. A lot of RV and Trailer parks so there is a great chance you'd see a ton of Packer fans living there already.

Ha eBay is usually a great place to find inexpensive reading material. You have a library close by? Those are good places for generic books, for specialty books I like eBay though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha You can’t go wrong with the classics (I’m sure you’ve read some of these in school). Some of my favorites: The Great Gatsby The Haunting of Hill House (or anything by Shirley Jackson) Little Rascal Lord of the Flies The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (or anything by Mark Twain) The Sun Also Rises (or anything by Ernest Hemingway) Brave New World Treasure Island (or anything by Robert Louis Stevenson) The Count of Monte Cristo Shane Brideshead Revisited The Hunchback of Notre Dame (or anything by Victor Hugo) The Catcher in the Rye Nineteen Eighty Four To Kill a Mockingbird David Copperfield (or anything by Charles Dickens) Catch-22 Slaughterhouse-Five Frankenstein Dracula The Call of the Wild Fahrenheit 451 One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich For some more modern or pop literature, I like these: Rage of Angels The Spy Who Came In From the Cold Eye of the Needle The Stepford Wives (or anything by Ira Levin) Breakfast at Tiffany’s The Godfather ‘Salem’s Lot (also “Pet Sematary” on any early Stephen King) No Country For Old Men (or anything by Cormac McCarthy) Charlie St. Cloud Presumed Innocent Into Thin Air The Rainmaker (or any of John Grisham’s early works) Never Look Away (also “Bad Move” or anything by Linwood Barclay) I like mysteries or detective novels so here are some of my favorites: And Then There Were None a.k.a. Ten Little Indians (or whatever is the PC title these days) The ABC Murders The Hound of the Baskervilles The Maltese Falcon I, the Jury And the Sea Will Tell I don’t care for Harry Potter, Eragon series, Twilight series, or Hunger Games. But my kids do. They are in their late 20's now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha I can highly recommend “Testimony” by Robbie Robertson. Even if you aren’t a big music person, he’s a great story teller, and the story of The Band is a fascinating one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
