Collecters Anyone?

Books, fun gadgets (i.e. , toys), music, art (especially things you can touch) and cats (miscellaneous stuff in feline guise, shape or form; some functional and some not).

I collect duck decoys, postcards of my home town, costume jewelry, and pretty teacups.

Well being a writer, I of course have way too many books. I have somewhere around 3000 movies in my collection between DVDs and VHS. I collect teddy bears.

And I collect odd and weird things that strike my fancy. Not a hoarder, but I am something of a pack rat. That's what happens when you don't have a good woman around to help you do stuff.

BOOKS, especially informative and unusual books. At last count I had over 70 different 'straight' dictionaries, and over 120 'type' dictionaries ( Dictionary of slang, Dictionary of fictional characters, Dictionary of music, etc ) - as well as about 5,000 other books . - - Great question, Pa's girl.

I think books are winning. So good to see, I sometimes despair of future generations becoming avid readers due to the habitual use of television and other electronic media. Except for my grandson, of course (she said, bragging).

He's just 2 (and a smidge) and already owns over 200 books. REAL books, not cardboard or paper 'baby' books.

Hmm, Maybe I could do Corvette pictures. I can't imagine why everyone said books. Are these not a normal and necessary part of any residence?

My secret sin is old hardware- nails, screws, strike plates, hinges, used plastic anchors, short pieces of wires, non-descript shards of lumber- and (cough choke) Q-tips. Jay aka VIVE.

I've done some stamp collecting but haven't really done any philatelic literature on them. I've enjoyed a small hobby in numismatics. Not must on bibliophile around 100 collected.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
