Dime novels? Yup. I was raised on Zane Grey books that inspired me to write western novels (mine are Christian. I’d have read them first, because I wouldn’t have been able to keep my hot little hands off them. Those and many camping trips in the western states with Dad, Mom, and my two brothers–Dad loved western history–gave me a solid foundation on which to build my many western novels. BTW, Susan K. Marlow’s wonderful Circle C Adventures are great for all ages!

Knowing me, I’d would be a dime novel reader, even if I had to read them on the sly.

You know what, Pat? I think comic books might be the “dime novel” of the 60s and 70s. Boy, did I EVER devour comic books: Gold Key, 12 cents! Illustrated Classics, Fantastic Four, and so on! Gives me warm fuzzies to remember all those good times reading comic books.

My parents raised me believing in (Moderation In All Things)and believed that it (Wasn’t what you knew that would hurt you, but what you didn’t)…Therefore, I think I would have to side with the readers of the dime novels. Knowledge, whether you agree or disagree…Is Bliss…And a without it, leads to life of dependence on those that have it…IMO.

I would definitely have been a dime novel reader,
had I lived in that time. As it is, along with my books from the library, I read comic books & when
I reached junior high school, I began reading Louis
L’Amour and Zane Grey.
