this must be one of the most rewording articles I had ever read
I - myself- have a vast music collection I feel very much the same about
and had also shared the heart aches of losing an out of print album to the random borrower -or just as bad- offering a certain friend the introduction into a world of sounds I'm certain would be admired -only to be shot down.
we -as obsessive collectors- are not as the keychain or porcelain plate collectors
the intellectual / artistic / spiritual -enlightenment offered to us by our *obsessions* serves to separate us from the random OCD hobnobs!
so I say-hooray ! and kudos! may your collection ever grow and expand !

A good and humorous read on a topic which is really serious. I know what I'm talking about. It took me ages to find someone who proved worthwhile to move in with me and my books, honouring them as those parts of my personality that are, have been and will be (all the while surpressing the urge to smile on my vast collection of puberty-driven buys which, I admit, include Hesse). In return, he came with even more books which may not even be touched. Lending books? Oh, no! But feel free to note author and title or sit down and start reading.
