The books series went on....................
And no doubt better.
I never read any of those books.
Not much of a reader in the past couple of decades.
Last winter, I handled hundreds of books. They were boxed by me, hauled on a trailer by me, unloaded by me (mostly), and walked upstairs by me (mostly) to sit in piles on a floor.
No real interest in reading for a few years to come.
