Are You A Collector?

[barry1010]

I enjoy looking at art, antiques, jewellery in all forms but don't want to own it or live with it.

I love reading and am grateful to the authors for giving me years of entertainment and information.  I don't keep the books.

I don't feel compelled to complete a set of anything.

If you have a collection, tell me about it and why you enjoy collecting. When your collection is complete are you determined to keep it?

I've kept some books which have meaning to me, maybe twenty or so, but pretty much all the paperbacks went.

I can't bear clutter.

Ken, I decided to try the electric guitar after my son decided that was his instrument. I thought 'I can do that, too. ' We now have two defunct guitars in the garage.  One with a broken string. And an amplifier.

I used to buy proper books many moons ago. Always, hardbacks I loved looking at them on a shelf, in order of them being written and read. I still have them.

Of course I now download everything to my Kindle, it is brilliant for reading in bed, with no need for a light. The only trouble is now I have lots waiting to be read, but not the time to read them 😔

Like you Barry, I enjoy art, sculptures and beautiful things but I don't own them.

However I do collect or maybe hoard theatre and concert programmes. I love to know that I can look back to see who was in the shows I have seen and to relive the experience in a way. I did thin them out once keeping only the absolute favourites but the favourites but the collection is growing again.
