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.
