I relax and destress by reading. As a collector of books as well as of stamps, if I read one book in a series I'll have to read (which for me generally means "purchase and keep") all of them.
My collection includes:
All of Agatha Christie's mystery novels and plays | |
All of the James Bond novels, both those by Ian Fleming and those by John Gardner | |
Every Star Trek® novel published by either Bantam or Pocket1 | |
Every Star Wars® novel published (excluding childrens' stories) | |
The complete Horatio Hornblower series | |
The complete "Jane Jeffreys" mysteries by Jill Churchill | |
The complete Tales of the City series by Armistead Maupin |
In addition, all of the novels I read — as required as well as recommended reading — for high school and college are in my library.
