Wow. You have been doing a lot of reading ! Your grandfather, my brother, read a lot as a kid, but it was adventure magazines, like Argosy, and I can't remember other names. There was a nearby second hand book store at Broadway and Alberta Street, where you could trade comics and magazines. When Gordy went out, I would enjoy reading his magazines. Some of my favorite books are Remembrance of Things past by Proust, and Howard's End, by E.M Forster. Also the Barbara Pym novels. The Alexandrian Quartet, for a taste of Egyptian culture.
