Based on some of your classic/traditional favorites, I think I will enjoy reading your posts here.
I need to reread Cheaper by the Dozen again. It has been ages. One of my university professors had been involved--well before my time--in going through a forgotten stash of photographic slides that the Gilbreths made for some of their industry work with the manufacturing process of lace braiding machines. I thought it was amazing that he got to work with their actual slides--but now I've gotten more used to what a small world it is.
I really enjoy books from earlier eras and used to buy them used online, but now find it so convenient and expansive in selection to download whatever I want from Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive. (Also a life-changing bonus is the ability for text-to-speech to read whatever I want to me while I do housework, kitchen work, and other chores.)
