I believe my parents were dating, but they were not yet married and I

when I was 16 and fresh out of high school.

I didn't have much time to read in 1968: within a month's time I
graduated college, got married, and left for Officer Training School for
the US Air Force (in that order).

I do remember though, just after finals and before graduation, going
over to a friend of my roommate's house. In their living room I picked
up a copy of "Colossus" (later made into a movie "The Forbin Project")
and just sat there and read it through in one sitting.
