You sir, are an enabler.

Fortuitously my digital library has a few gigabytes of shelf space left. which is fortunate due to the lack of physical space available to me.

I know the feeling - as part of my current bout of decluttering I'm giving a hundred and fifty or so books to local charity shops (and it's getting harder to find shops that want them) and still have about a hundred that I want to shelve but don't currently have room for, despite having more than 110ft of shelf space in this room, and about the same again in the rest of my flat. The perils of a long term (approx 60 years and counting) book addiction...

Last time I did this, circa 2005, I gave away and sold roughly 300 books, when I did a flat swap in 1995 I had to get rid of a vast collection of SF magazines, many of which were pulp and rapidly disintegrating so essentially worthless. It was NOT fun.

After that I'll have to start dealing with the DVDs, laserdiscs, etc. etc...

i feel the pain. Due to various domestic upheavals i have had to divest my self of my paperback collections several times.
i still have to digitise my music collection about 1/2 way through. its a tedious process. not a lot of fun.
I lost a 2 TB external HDD a couple of years ago. It had my Movie and TV collection on it and i didnt get around to having a backup of it. some stuff i probably cant find again. like all of the "Is Born " series.. Jaguar, a racing car, a helicopter etc..... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424706/

Been through a few of those, one way or another. Parting with my vinyl collection was the most painful.

Next on my re-reading journey, one of my favourite Asimov tales: Nightfall (the 1990 expanded edition with Silverberg).

yes a very good read that one.
im currently listening to the disc world series on audiobook. currently book 17 Interesting times.

Audiobooks? How about old-time radio drama? Some real gems in this collection from the CBS Radio Workshop.

bookmarked, thanks Cody
