I recently listened to a great book on CD, The Rise and Fall of Alexandria,which shows the incredible power of books and reading (listening).As for me my father worked for some years at Citi Services Oil and used to bring home 8 magazine a week including The Economist,To The Point,Far East Asian Revue etc.. I wish I had read more of the Classics.History I get from Books on CD but I cant get enough good ones.My favorite is still Peter the Great.A great book to show how Nationalism can become an addiction

Readership of RD created the US colossus. 60's generation repudiated RD and are the ones conducting US back to its natural size.

Your family was rich. I only could read with what I could pay with my own money, thus I did my reading at a later time in life.

I was a great reader too, using the library a lot and also delving into the books my parents had accumulated. We had a Chambers encyclopedia, but my approach was stochastic - I'd grab a volume at random and open it anywhere, looking for something interesting. My parents were not keen about TV, and were late in getting a set. When colour technology arrived my father said TV was bullshit and colour TV was bullshit squared. Now I have Sky and often watch bullshit - for sociological reasons, of course.
