Broke my leg in three places when I was in first grade. I was in casts from early October until late April. I had nothing to do but sit in the school library or when I had a walking cast walk to the public library. Random House had a series of history books that I devoured. The first one was The History of the United States Marine Corps. I still remember the opening paragraph describing a young platoon commander peeking over the crest of a frigid ridgeline to put eyes on thousands of North Korean troops forming up to attack his Marines.
The second one was The Battle of the Atlantic and the third was Stonewall Jackson. Been reading voraciously ever since. Best broken leg ever.
