Treasured possessions

[andrewducker]

I picked up the first Dragonlance book on holiday in Pitlochry. I was twelve. Can I really get rid of a trilogy of books I've been carrying around for nearly two thirds of my life?

Similarly, I have the complete Lensman series - I'm not sure I could ever bear to actually read them again. But get rid of them? After I tracked them down one by one through car boot sales and second-hand bookshops? Are you insane?

Anyone else got books they'll never read again, or films they'll never watch, but they can't bear to let go of? (Oooh - Paperhouse. I'm never watching that again, but I have to own it.)

I keep thinking that you and mb2u must be the twin sons of different mothers. Not only do you look enough alike to be brothers or cousins but given the number of long white boxes and boxes of books currently residing in our garage... you share more than a few interests and passions about collectibles.

Long white boxes?

No idea what you're talking about! None! Don't have any of those taking up cupboard space.

Oh, to have a garage to store stuff in...
