'Z-Morning Zoo' cracks books

Salt Lake morning DJs "Frankie" and "Dangerboy" of KZHT's "Z-Morning Zoo" can talk with the best of them. These popular radio personalities on FM-97.1 create lively chatter each weekday morning. However, they also enjoy a good read.

Frankie's last book was "Night Fall" by Nelson DeMille, a suspense book.

Dangerboy last read "Deception Point," a thriller by Dan Brown, who also wrote "The Da Vinci Code."

Frankie said reading skills are vital in just about any occupation these days and advises everyone to read something, whether it be magazines, newspapers or even online.

"It's important to stay in touch," he said.

Growing up in Detroit, Frankie said, adventure books about the "King of the Wild Frontier" — Davy Crockett — were among his favorite reading material.

Dangerboy, meanwhile, was raised in Taylorsville and said the "Hardy Boys" series was at the top of the reading list.
