Yeah those are all good ones.
I am adding one but I preface this first with "I am not a large book or novel reader, that being siad I must add:
"The Last Open Road" by Burt S. Levy.
One of the only "large books I ever read and its just that good!!
I bought every book he wrote and almost finishe the latest one...If you love cars and vintage racing its a must read. Has a light, comical tone to the books, and very good details.

PS google it if you don't know:D

I have the first 5 books you listed and I can say they're just awesome! I'm currently reading the 'designing and tuning high performance fuel injection systems' and can say I'm impressed with the difficulty of it. I find myself reading pages over again after realizing that I didn't comprehend what I just read. :thumbup:
