And I think I AM your generation!

I wish! A clue: I was born and raised in the Radio Era.

Now the truth is out.... :-(

P.S. As I recall, my older brothers read EVERYTHING that Alexandre Dumas and Fenimore Cooper ever wrote...Couldn't stand them, myself. I do not recall ever having seen even a COPY of a Hardy Boys book in my childhood. However, I bought REAMS of them for my oldest son. Youngest didn't care for them at all. He was into fantasy (C.S. Lewis Narnia books, Tolkien, et al.). So it is really not so much a matter of generation, as of temperament. On the other hand, who reads Dumas and Fenimore Cooper any more?

I read everything by Edgar Rice Burroughs except the Tarzan series. All the John Carter of Mars (well, Barsoom). All the stories about the earth's core. The Venus books. When I bought them, with my weekly allowance, one at a time, they were thirtyfive cents apiece, and I still have them, but they are much the worse for wear.
