Kaaren was a voracious reader.
His interests were wide ranging and quirky.
He loved history, particularly early American history, the colonial era.
He loved to read about science and to try to understand concepts that he found difficult.
He loved science fiction too, that was his favorite I think.
A bookstore owner he’d met when he was young had recommended books to him and had been a huge influence on a lonely boy looking for escape.
He told me that it broke his heart when the store closed down.
We both enjoyed books and when his face wasn’t buried between my legs he would be nose deep in a good book.
It amazes me that he found the time for everything but somehow he did.

She loves having me as her sissy husband...
She loves dominating me....she didn't at first but she kind of grew into the role....
She loves that she can cuckold me to satisfy her needs for physical pleasure that I'm unable to provide for her....
I love all that but there's something else...
It might have been a deal breaker....
I don't think I could love anyone who didn't love books!!!!
Thank god she reads as much or more than I do.....our house is full of books....
Well, other than the fact we had blogs in the realm of TG type topics, Kaaren and I definitely had the loves of our lives as book lovers in common too. Sometimes, we would go out and find used book stores and just free range browse across the expanse of shelves. I was into non-fiction, and while she held a degree in medieval history, she loved science fiction and a different sort of romance bodice ripper fiction. She always had at least 2 books in her purse as well as a Kindle.
ReplyDeleteIt pained her when the anti-TG stuff about J.K. Rowling came out .. she passed on before the depth of it came out .. I haven't migrated her personal copies yet.
I am not a scifi guy, but love historical books, and colonial history through 1820's was something I read a lot about. It's another wonderful connection with Kaaren I wish I knew about before his passing. I am so glad you are continuing to post from his voluminous back log of posts!
I used to tease him about how he might have been the camp whore keeping the troops entertained during the long winter at Valley Forge in a past life.
DeleteIt’s interesting how many ways that you and my Kaaren were alike.
Kaaren didn’t do well in school although he was probably one of the smartest people I ever met. He just couldn’t buckle down and study anything that he wasn’t interested in.
But he dove in to any kind of knowledge that caught his attention.
You know, I still have bookshelves full of his books. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with them. They were as much a part of him as his pretty dresses and I can’t let either of them go.
Voluminous backlog is right. I’ve only scratched the surface.
Nice to hear from you,
Mrs K
