Lovely piece. Did your father understand the extent of the gift he gave you?
I have only come to appreciate what my father did for me through my memories and missing him. I guess that is true of many things in our life.
Reading this reminded me I should keep an eye on your substack. Science fiction is not my first choice, but essays seem to hit home. So glad I opened this one!
Hi Susan :) thanks for reading it. I think he understood given his working hours and time, it was I who understood better only much later on. Thanks for keeping an eye out, I think everyone can relate, it's not for everyone but it always is for someone. Have a very nice week!
Beautiful essay - thank you.
(P.S. those retro Foundation covers are so cool)
Thank you my friend.
These kinds of gifts (and just what was available on our parents' bookshelves) really shaped our lives, maybe more than we realize.

A beautiful read and tribute to your Dad. Thanks!
Thank you, Jason, I appreciate it very much.
Great essay my man, I'll talk to you this afternoon!
Thank you my friend, talk soon!
What a lovely memory. It made me tear up.
Thank you for reading and the kind feeling, Priya.
Loved this one Edward, enjoy your feast buddy! And may God rest your dad’s soul.
By the way, my oldest daughter (she’s 9 now) but she’s a big fan of fiction, I’ll be picking some of these up for her.
Thank you, Louie, I appreciate that very much my friend. I hope you'll find your oldest a special new book to enjoy!
