alloyman[Tony wasn't a big reader when he was a child- except that might be a lie. He was a big reader of textbooks mostly, lots of information. This was just so that maybe he could impress people with his knowledge and then it occurred to him that sometimes people didn't want to have physics spewed at them-
So one day he asked a librarian what would be simultaneously good for fictional reading as well as mentally stimulating and a little bit above his reading level (and he meant double his reading level) and then went back home with a book of Norse myths. He then bought the book for apparently a few times over what it was worth.
It's lying around somewhere in the manor now, mostly forgotten and gathering dust. But he brought it along with him because suddenly, after encountering Thor, it was suddenly very potent.
Opening up and reading all his annotations (Thor = idiot showing up on multiple pages) he realized that it might have to be hidden away to avoid a thrashing from his now-teammate. Of course he did look back on a few of his more favored myths...
He didn't admit to himself that the majority of them involved a certain Liesmith.
So it's an average day at the Malibu house, Tony rummaging through his bookcase because he needs to find something and... carelessly knocking books off the shelves in order to find what he needs. He's gone as quick as he came, something like a tornado, and doesn't seem to notice that the mythology book from his childhood is laying at the top of the heap.]
