Easter Book Hunt

Easter in Vernon means many things, among them the Easter egg book hunt! To be honest, any visit to Vernon involves a book hunt. They have a couple of very good used books stores. This particular Easter it was a father/son activity.

Up until a few years ago I never thought of my Dad as a book kind of guy. His big passions are hunting, fishing and competing in Black Powder Rendezvous'. When I was a kid my Dad would take me hunting with him. He'd have the "big game" rifle and I'd have the 22 should we come across a grouse destined for the dinner table.

It wasn't until we started swapping Honor Herrington novels that it fully dawned on me he liked a good fiction novel. The clues were there, of course, but how much do we really pay attention where our parents are concerned. My Dad's taste in Science Fiction is limited, as are mine in the Westerns and African Adventures. That our tastes don't entirely overlap is good; we can happily co-exist in a used book store!

So this Easter weekend we were hunting together once again, each stalking our own game. The hunting was good, I bagged a couple Neil Gaimans and Dad brought home a large brace of Louis L' Amours.
