70's as well. I took Mechanical Drafting classes as part of a series of classes designed to see where you'd fit best. There was a woodworking class, automotive, and electrical class in the series. I went from Mechanical Drafting on to Architectural Drawing classes and then got a job as a graphics artist. From there I moved to a computerized typesetter (CompuGraphic Editwriter) and then to computers and programming.

Fun stuff.

Well, I have a couple of thousand gaming books. Quite a few are purchases through momentum. I bought the core book(s) and modules, ran a few games and still like it but don't have a gaming group. But there are a very small percentage that I've actually read through.

I have probably maybe 400 computer related books of which most are used as a reference source.

Maybe a third of my comic books are unread by me since I traded a box of old train stuff for three long boxes of comic books.

Of the several thousand novels and short story compilations, with only a few exceptions, I've read all of them. There are a few books that I bought because they read well in the store but when getting home I found they were just not something I could get my head around at the moment. I do know that some time period later I'll either have a better mindset and be able to grok the book(s) or I'll purge it.
