    Default What Discus books are a must read?

    I have seen people talk about books lately and I must confess I am not a big reader. But since I want to learn and stay around for awhile and not be a one night stand for you guys. What are a few must read discus books that everyone should atleast read once in there life?

    Hey Sean,
    This is actually a good segway into a new section we have been talking about in our Moderator section. Johnnathan suggested it ...so you Beat me to the punch alittle here but.... we are starting a section for Books... one thread per book, with members reviewing them... so we'll take any feedback you get here as a starting point for that section.

    Thanks,

    Excellent choice. Buy it and then have him autograph it at the NADA Show in June.

    Yes Andrews Soh's The Naked Truth is a must IMO. He even tells you how to cut away the fins so they grow back properly.
    If women don't find you attractive, may they find you handy.
