The public library boasted of a bigger selection, but within a couple of years I devoured all the works of Ray Bradbury, Halan Ellison and Robert Silverberg that they shelved.
During the summers our family would set out on a two week vacation to campsites and historic places and Mom read the "Narnian Chronicles" by CS Lewis and JR Tolkein's "Hobbit " and the "Lord of the Rings" as we rode past hills, cities, rivers and mountians in the eastern United States.
