I learned to read and have been pretty voracious ever since!  It hurt my heart
when I had to sell 2,000 books as I joined the Navy.  I had only a pinto to
stuff with everything I owned including 2 seabags of uniforms that were not
optional.  I made room for 750 or so in the car.

Jean Auel is 'Clan of the Cave Bear'.  Girl then woman in the stone age.  She's
a rebel who trys to be normal.  A medicine woman/Doctor who domesticates a wolf
and a horse but it all grows in bits that are sensible as they happen.

Side seege.  I have a returning sysop.  Think anyone would like to see him
here?  He's still setting up so would be a bit.
