Abandoned Books and/or Movies #8

Malaria Dreams: An African Adventure (Large Print Edition)- Stuart Stevens
I originally read this book almost twenty years ago. It is about a guy who drives his friend's car across the Sahara desert.

Making the Grades: My Misadventures in the Standardized Testing Industry - Todd Farley
Todd Farley worked for a long time scoring standardized tests. Not surprisingly, there are a lot of inaccuracies, problems, and places for random weirdness in the scoring of standardized tests. This book probably would have been better as a long magazine article.

Driving Like Crazy - P.J. O'Rourke

The title is actually a lot longer than just three words. The book is also.

Vrooom!! Conversations with the Grand Prix Champions - Peter Manso. (No picture available)

This book was written in 1969, I believe. If you would like to learn more about Grand Prix racers and what they think about modern art, H. Rap Brown, and the Vietnam war, this is the book for you.
