Paperbacks

A few years ago before the internet there used to be shelves and shelves of cheap paperback books everywhere. I would spend hours (really) just picking through them and looking at the covers. The Sci-Fi and mystery ones were my favorites for sure because of the fantastical images on the jackets. Both my parents plowed through these kinds of books once and there'd be a stack on the basement steps and on any horizontal surface out of sight in the garage or attic. I learned a lot about how men and women thought of each other and what being an adult might mean. I got to think about all kinds of strange issues and worlds from ridiculous and amazing imaginations.
