You are Gen X. If you'll forgive me for using one of my favorite quotes of yours, you are Gen X as our money is metric: to the bone.
Doug Coupland, who originated the term, put the start date for Gen X as 1961 in his article.
"But, Kev, you were born in 1961 and that makes you a Baby Boomer, just like us." "Thank you, Diane, but I beg to differ, | have no memory of the Jack Kennedy assassination, | barely remember the moon walk, and I hate granola."
Further, Strauss and Howe's book "Generations" also puts the start year as 1961.
I don't know who moved the start date for Gen X to 1965, but they were wrong. So very, very wrong.
Re-read Ivanhoe recently. I love that book, but this re-read put one of his few weaknesses as an author in relief - action scenes. The clash between Bois-Guilbert and Ivanhoe is over too quickly, and isn't as good a passage as any other in the book.
Just learned that Thackeray, the most sarcastic man in history, wrote a sequel!

My next book for sure.
This was a splendid read
Now I want to reread Project Hail Mary too. It would be better than some of the new books I’ve read lately.
The audiobook is done perfectly.
