Many of mine are science fiction, that I have accumulated since I was a teenager. I have acquired very few (1 or2) books since boxing the others up. I just don’t read much nowadays, and we just don’t have the space to keep them (as well as 1800 or so records, a few hundred CD’s). You get the picture…

Still blows me away when I hear this and the red album and realise yet again that they did all this in 8 years…it felt much longer at the time, like they’d always been there.

Guess we have three thousand books around the place, but I am a Kindle convert now. We used to take an extra suitcase on holiday, just for the books, now I take my whole library in my carry-on. Still buy the odd “coffee table” tome, but I really do prefer my Kindle for everyday reading. I thought streaming would prove to be the musical equivalent, but as I’ve just bought a CDT, I guess I’m not quite there yet!

Sadly nearly all my early SciFi paperbacks are gone now. Asimov, Clark, Heinlein et al, all passed to the various charity outlets.
I still have nearly all of my Hardbacks, including my very precious Frank Herbert collection.
We too read mostly on kindle now, but I still by the many books, mostly hardbacks and the odd coffee table tome…

Bob Dylan - Fragments Bootleg Series Vol 17
Time Out of Mind produced by Daniel Lanois was a great album but the remix minus the Lanoisnosification is just amazing.
The Dylan people do a great job on the bootleg series pretty much deliver what the fan wants at a very reasonable price.

Epic!
