It introduced me to a lot of new concepts: Indonesia, travelling with a camera-man, red tape and officialdom and, not least, komodo dragons.<br /><br />I continued to read a lot of non-fiction. When I read Hornblower, I read a lot of books about sailing ships. Reading the Norse Myths led me to reading a lot about the history of the Viking Age. And so on. There should never be any imnplication that reading non-fiction is somehow 'lesser.'Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.com
