Fun reading...I hope!

Found a marvelous book at our local library, a New York Times collection of NYC stories from over the years. Just perusing it between the shelves it caught my interest quickly, particularly since it opened immediately to an article about the 1965 New York blackout. Said blackout, which was really a northeastern USA & southeastern Canada phenomenon, occurred when I was a toddler and still living in the city.

If there's one thing I've always enjoyed, it's reading articles about events I at least vaguely recall. History has always drawn my interest, but now that my childhood years are nigh on half a century ago, my own lifetime is rapidly becoming something of historical interest--as weird as THAT is to realize!

I'll have to let you know if the book's worth the read. I'm expecting as much, particularly since it's a "gray lady" tome!
