At the end of the Second World War, most of Europe was in ruins. This included libraries. If you wanted to read, you had to search for a book. It wasn’t easy and, as you can see here, there will always be someone looking to better themselves. Reading IS educating and the one thing bullets and bombs cannot destroy is what you pack between your ears. Next time you think reading ‘isn’t that important,’ remember, these people didn’t think so.
Steve Levi is an Alaskan writer who specializes in the Alaska Gold Rush (nonfiction) and the ‘impossible crime,’ (fiction.) An ‘impossible crime’ is one where the detective must figure out HOW the crime was committed before going after the perpetrators – like a Greyhound bus with bank robbers and hostages disappearing off the Golden Gate Bridge –THE MATTER OF THE VANISHING GREYHOUND.
