CLYDE'S BOOKSHELF (An Incomplete List)

I found a list of books written out in daddy's hand, some with asterisks next to the titles. He was a voracious reader. It wasn't just a hobby - it was him. He could have, and should have, written a few but never got around to it. Here is the list - to be sure, an incomplete list. I may read them all. I want to find out what it was about these books that prompted him to write them down. This list is a microcosm of the thousands He read. He always had a book in his hands and often read them more than once. He would underline and make margin notes in his beautiful tiny handwriting. He enjoyed passing particular books to someone else like a son or friend and asking them to feel free to add their own notes so he could read their thoughts. He loved discussing a book he was reading - - but perhaps rarely had someone to participate in that discussion. I think maybe his deep intellect was threatening or unrelateble to some. He did do dives where most swim in the shallow end philosophically.  Daddy I'm sorry for all the times I didn't take the time to listen. All the times I was too busy or distracted. I didn't understand then that I could never recapture those moments with you.
