Well, when you live with them every day, you get to pick the sheep and the spot.

Sheesh! I got a book years back at Borders in the worlds myths and legends. It's got the Norse stuff in there too. Honestly, I'm still trying to work my way through Greek mythology. Lord but those folks seem to love in breeding and incest!!! I just can't picture a buncha old time Greeks sitting around the camp fire with the kids and telling about who raped his daughter of bore youngsters by her son or brother. Really not my thing! Next up up is Indian mythology. That should be a head spinner!

Still going through my collection of old firearms/hunting books. "Man of the Woods", " A Wilderness Patchwork" (story of the Patch beagle line near where I grew up. My father is briefly mentioned for saving the writers hired man from drowning, "Hunting with the Twenty-Two", ""The American Deer Hunter", and a couple others. I also ordered a copy of Horace Kepharts "Sporting Firearms" from 1912. Turns out it's a new printed copy from India that has blurred pages in a couple spots and the book itself is nowhere near as good as Horaces articles in The American Rifleman, Outers, Outdoor Life, etc. Not a waste of $, but close considering the quality.

I never read any chemistry books prior to Linus Pauling writing his in the mid-1950's.

Excellent book and the science is very good. My older brother, who help develop the neutron bomb in the 1960's, said there are some key things left out of the book, so as not to make a blue print for building one.

I just re-read The Saint Maker's Christmas Eve, by Paul Horgan for the umpteenth time. Charming book, my parents read it and fell in love with it while grad students in Austin in the late 50s. It became a family tradition for them to read it to us at Christmas time.

A Christmas gift was a Thriftbooks gift card and I've been perusing the site looking for more books. Not sure of the next genres, but Parker and Connelly will be getting a long rest.

I haven't read a book, since I retired................reminds me too much about work. When I worked production support, finished a paperback, almost daily. Just sat reading, in the plant's maintenance area, waiting on a breakdown. Put that fire out and went back to reading. Only seen my foreman on payday, when he was handing out the paychecks. It was a symbiotic relationship.

That is a very sad story.
