Default Need reading materials. Suggestions?

As a new victim of the economy, I just got laid off. So needless to say I have a whole bunch of free time on my hands, and unfortunately for me I'm out of books to read. I was just wondering as a new (and obsessed, if you ask my friends) A4 owner, does anyone know of any decent Audi books I could pick up? I'm absolutely freaking out with as much free time as I have now, and I can only pick up a video game for maybe 15 minutes before I get fidgety and have to go do something else. I need something to read when I'm not out on the job hunt!!!

Also, I was just cruising through eBay Motors and found a salvage '96 A4 for sale in Indiana, for you guys who are around that area. Looks like it's in pretty bad shape, but you never know.

Oh man, sorry to hear about your situation. Hopfully things start to come back soon, i sure hope so. I know that PepBoys has Manuals for the Audi A4 B5. To be honest, when im boerd as hell i flip through it and just read whatever i think might be my next diy. Other than that...nothing that i know of off the top of my head. Good luck on the job hunt.

I hear the Haynes manual makes good reading lol. I'm sorry to hear about that though man, I'm lucky enough to still have my job. Honestly though I don't know of any actual books. In the stickies there are an ***-load of PDFs that you can read. Thats what I do when I'm supposed to be listening to my GF

Haynes manuals are great bathroom reading material. I have a huge chiltons manual that documents all cars a-z from 1987-1994. It's old stuff but it never leaves the bathroom. It's kind of tacky.

Yeah I keep trying to read my Chilton manual front to back, but I find it's somewhat dry . Thanks for the good luck, I'm sure things will turn out. ESPECIALLY if I end up getting a letter in the mail (supposed to be any day now) from the Montana Highway Patrol saying (hopefully) that they want me in the Academy.

I hadn't thought about checking out magazines for B5 stuff. I'll probably head to B&N in a few here and check it out.
