My first book was "Close Encounters of the 3rd kind, because my Angel-Bride
Margie and I were going to see it. I didn't finish the book before we went to
the movie, but for a pretty good way into the movie, I DVS'ed the movie for
her.
What really shocked me was when I gained enough speed to read the book with a
sense of real enthusiasm and emotions springing from the text. That was my
first real reading experience with it from my perspective. I then took on The
Star Fleet Manual, and actually looked at uniform designs, my first attempts at
looking at images as well as text.
I read a wide variety of books from "Selected Writings of Chairman Mao" my
first possession actually printed in China. Star Trek and James Bond novels.
It was the beginning of a personal print collection which really burgeoned with
my acquisition of a KPR model 30 in August of 1989 where my Optacon use held me
in good stead when I used the hand camera.
