I was an avid reader and quite proud of my library which contained some 2000+ books. But Mrs GTP, (before she lost her battle with breast cancer) being very "houseproud," didn't like the constant dusting or smell of old musty books in her nice clean home - so they had to go.
At about the height of her complaining the advent of the internet meant that I no longer needed to keep them as most were available online from sites like Project Gutenberg and others anyway.
I donated them to my local library. The books covered a wide range of subjects from "Australiana" to physics and space sciences.
I did keep several that I couldn't bare to part with, like "Fair Girls and Grey Horses" by Will.H. Ogilvie.
It was written and published in 1913, took me years to find and cost a small fortune to possess.
I also kept two books of poetry from "The Banjo" (A.B. "Banjo" Patterson) and "The Complete Works Of Henry Lawson."
I've also written about 300+ poems and stories, mainly "bush ballads," poems about horses and young love.
I started writing for my Daughter when she was in Pony Club.
I also kept my other most favorite book/s namely "The First Chronicles Of Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever," and "The Second Chronicles Of Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever."
The aforementioned books are just too precious to get rid of.
I purchased a Kobo ereader quite some years ago and I've got about 2000+ ebooks loaded into it but it hasn't been switched on for years now.
Unfortunately, I dont get much time to read now. There are a plethora of sites like Spotify that have a selection of free or low priced subscription services for Audiobooks and I can always watch a documentary on any subject that interests me on FreeTube..
I've been an avid reader all my life. The only thing that holds me back from reading books is that my eyes are easily fatigued. Even reading online, I have to take breaks. Kudos to all of you who can still pick up a book without falling asleep.
