When he saw something interesting he'd by it as well as encyclopedia series, the yearly books of discoveries, a vintage set of medical books from the 1800's. He had one section that was just the weird books. A lot of mythology based books, Nooks on different conspiracy stuff. And right in the middle he had the book chariots of the gods right next to L Ron's Dianetics book which was the basis of Scientology.
My dad for all of his rational thoughts, was a huge fan of alien conspiracy theories, and linking greek, roman, aztec and mayan's to alien intelligence.
My mom was a fan of chariots of the gods as well. It makes me a little bit sad now that Dementia has really taken its toll on her.
