    My passion was the encyclopedia and I started with "A" and made it through the end, although there was much I passed over. Still, it created a thirst for knowledge that I've yet to lose. I suppose I fit the description of a lifetime student. I've also discovered, the more I learn, the more I realize how little I know and the gap continues to widen.


    Book wise, my first real recollection was the entire Hardy Boys series.

    Only book I read more than once; "Catcher in the Rye".

    Agree with everything, but you forgot Nat Geo
    There is no God but Resister and Refugee is his messenger’.

    Hmm... The first book I read, fully, I read to my mom. It was called the Gang of... Something? I remember the plot centered around a group of Jewish kids, whose dad was an intelligence officer. They fought off terrorists?

    I can't really remember.

    Sounds like possible propaganda?

    Possibly. I picked it out myself though, thought it sounded interesting, and it was. I also read Goosebumps, Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, back in the day.

    My first serious book was Catcher in the Rye.

    I'm pretty sure that the first book I read was Roger Staubacks biography...which is the main reason I can't stand the Cowboys LOL.
