Note about Zane Grey- I was a voracious reader as a child, but my parents would only allow me a few books when we went up to the cabin (something about forgotten books and hefty library overdue charges 🤷🏼‍♀️). To appease me, a great uncle did a small clear out of his library and my parents grabbed everything, including a full set of Zane Grey novels. I’m not a Western fan by any means, but they kept me company for many years, along with a slew of other classics. ---
