We got a set of 40 or so old sf paperbacks at a yard sale last fall. Burroughs’ Tarzan and space fiction, Conan, a couple other series. Daughter came home and asked for money to buy “a few,” but my husband gave her a 20, and she came home with the whole box. Claimed it was a misunderstanding ...

Great vocabulary in those old books - the authors assumed the readers knew some words!

I’m re-reading “Crime and Punishment” by Dostoyevsky. I first read it in college many years ago. I paid 60 cents for it new so that might tell you how long ago.
Anyway, I had to force myself to put it down at midnight last night to get some shut-eye.
