Oh Yes, That Brings back fond memories. We had a 30 volume Set of Encyclopaedia Britannica,andI remember spending hours and hours going through them.
Thought I have to admit to a guilty pleasure of going through old Argos Catalogs, that my faher had bought back with him from the UK. Could spend hours dreaming about the toys. Later on, graduated to the Radio Shack Catalog's
As for the classic SF, did't get into it till my mid teens, then discovered Asimov. Must have devoured every Asimov Book In the library (A palty half dozen) then spent most of my allowance over the next year trying to buy every Asimov book I could find.
Then In my G.I. Joe Phase started reading Tom Clancy, for all the detailed information of the weapons and systems.
Must not forget the old Pulps.(Mostly 2nd hand)
The Executioner (Mack Bolan)
Able Team
Phoenix Force
Perry Mason
Springblade
The Guardians
And also the classic comics
Asterix
Tintin
Archie Comics
Dandy, Beano, Topper, Beezer Annuals
The Phantom (The Diamond Comics ones)
Mandrake
