What do you like to buy and collect?

Verity

Hey I thought it would be interesting to know what we all like to buy and collect. I like to buy books, I own lots of Agatha Christie books and loads of lego minifigures which I love to buy and collect. I've also began collecting money, my mum used to collect vintage banknotes, she had an album which is now mine and in it there's money from the 1920s. Such lovely things. I've also began collecting records. 

What do you all like to collect?

  • Books - I'm an avid reader, and I'll get obsessive about certain topics and want to read about it as much as possible. Surface more than depth though. I've still not got round to reading Oliver Cromwell's speeches yet (which seemed like a good purchase at the time).
    z library and bookfi alternative best for Books.

    PC Games - I've never quite shaken off my retro-gaming fix and I've a tendency to get stuck on a particular genre and end up buying endless variations of the same type of game to try and evaluate the best experience (the last obsession was 4x fantasy games which I think I've just about got out of my system). I've got to the point now though where my rig just isn't up for the newer stuff - which probably isn't a bad thing. 

    Ideas. I subscribe endlessly to newsletters on just about anything. I'm due another cull soon - generally I'll go to a talk or conference of some description, get interested in all the speakers and organisations there and just randomly sign up to stuff so I don't miss out. Of course I've never read most of it - I just don't have the time.... but best to be signed up.... just in case....
