Moose,
I suspect that my choices in novels over the years were similar to your
dad's, at least from what you describe. I still have a number of them,
and tried re-reading a few, but they aren't as satisfying the second
time around. Now, I am behind in keeping up with weekly, bi-weekly, and
monthly magazines. Three subscriptions keep me busy.

Hmmm, first time I've been glad not to be Terry Pratchett. I'd be dead
by now, well, some years ago.
.....Very Sad news.
Yes.
And yet, he was so prolific that I suspect most folks could just
read/reread forever ...
I'm a fan, but only need a dose now and then. If I read several in a
row, they all start to sound the same.
My dad was a reader of mystery, spy and thriller novels of certain
sorts. He had built up his favorites over the years. They filled one
bookcase, double stacked. He started at one end and read through, then
started again. When I was young, I figured I'd end up doing something
similar. Then one day, I realized I was already well past the age
where he was set in his reading. Now I'm older than he ever managed,
and still reading almost all new (at least to me) stuff.
I guess heredity isn't fate. :-)
