I’m busy buying books that were widely available when I was a child, most of which no longer exist.

Anyone who doesn’t have the My Book House collection should try to grab them.

I used to be interested in how to conceal and preserve firearms. Now, God have mercy, I want to know how to hide Aesop’s fables and Grimm’s fairy tales.

I wish I still had all of the books I read as a child (yes, we had a set of My Book House). Most of them were in pretty sorry shape, though, after six children got through with them.

I don't have a matching set, but do have all of them. I think they are at my son's. Will have to find them for the hubby. He is re-reading all the books we have now. Will have to get him to read them all.

Like many others, I’ve recently reread 1984.

To alter history such that it was consistent with the interests of the Inner Party and Big Brother, outer party members diligently edited, and by hand on paper, changed history. No one could discern truth from falsehood. It was personally dangerous to challenge whatever the inner Party determined to be the truth.

Where outer Party workerbees discarded uncomfortable events down the Memory Hole, NPR, the cable outlets and the alphabets have a much easier time in the digital age; they simply don’t report or distort events to suit the democrat party.

We are in such dangerous waters.

Yes, by all means, save your books.
