   Hi! Roger,   
      
   On Tue, 02 Jul 13, you wrote to me:

   Same here but I started late; I did 95% of my reading growing up in the 60s.    
   I'm still not into 'murder mysteries', however during my schooling I was   
   whizzing through 3-4 books per week besides whatever was required for   
   classes.  The air war over England & Europe in WWII was a staple topic of   
   research.  For SciFi, I was particularly taken with the Stainless Steel Rat   
   stories, and, genre.  Great stuff that didn't require the know-how of the   
   gadgets; things just worked, when they were working.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
