Agree. As kids, we read everything, including being allowed to read before and after dinner at the table. My parents had everything from 'Organic Gardening and Farming,' 'Prevention,' 'Fate,' 'Guideposts,' 'Mechanics Illustrated,' 'Car and Driver,' 'Boating,' and we read and read, I especially loved the occult, strange and unexplained events, and growing your own food. Probably why I rejected the narrative long ago.
