That would be me, then. Think I have almost every book on the Mars Rovers and getting ready to branch out into other spacecraft. Since like likes like, books about well-bred snotty people don't interest me.
I've also read H.L. Mencken's "The American Language" for pleasure, so what kind of genre is that? What about other non-fiction?
