I’m more into non fictional books it seems.
I have tried to read a few fictional books ... particularly when I was working and used to travel an hour to and from Melbourne by train in my 20s.
The one book I read in public that was way too spooky to read at home .... the exorcist. Geez I know... but... it was the cult at the time! Then I find out there was some factual accounts about it!

And Clive Cussler’s fast paced adventure books... got me in from the very first line! “Raise the Titanic” which I think they made a movie later from the book.

I used to love going into the Library located near Latrobe street ... all warm and woody looking and peaceful.

On Sunday, we went to the Wantirna Trash n Treasure... hadn’t been for 2 years. I bought books (no surprise!) and one book was
“Space Odyssey” the first 40 years of space exploration.
A big heavy book with great photos!

Hubby looks through it admiringly and says “when technology fails... books will be of immense importance”
