Does anyone else do this? I buy soo many things to do with my special interests-like Lego I've got so much to do with Lego-I have dvds, books, pictures, sets, cards and mimifigures! And it's the same with my other special interest which is the Titanic! I love everything to do with the Titanic. I've got dvds, books, models, cds, blueprints and research it whenever I can. I first heard of it at school-about 5 years ago-and I've been obsessed ever since.
Today I looked in the charity shops as I happened to be in town looking for Vaseline-and in one charity shop I found yet another Titanic movie dvd. I've got several versions, each one is different whether it's a different cover-or with different special features. I hadn't had this one sooo I decided I needed it straight away!
As a bonus I picked up a book called The Starless Sea as I've heard good things about it-and both were only £1.50 together. Bargain! ️
Another special interest for me is dvds and I own soo many it's hard to store them now but when I see a dvd-or a limited edition I become obsessed and have to get it-asap.
One of the nice things about it is when I complete a set of books then I can pass them onto people here in Brazil who are working on their language skills and are also into the genres. This gives them a great motivation to read and expand their vocabulary.
And it makes space for me to fit more books in...
Wow! That's a lot of books-big collection, you've got a lot of reading to do! I own a few sci-fi books-though nowhere near as many as you. That's a really cool special interest to have and it means you can get enjoyment from it repeatedly if you want to read them again in the future.
I do my special interest shopping once every 6 months when I'm back in the UK - fantasy and sci-fi books have been the special interest for the last 3 years and I've been building on my existing collection largely thanks to eBay.
I've read about 15% of them so far and getting through 3-4 a week, so they will last a few years yet.
