I suspect that I have a bit of an obsessive streak. I think that it is fairly common and not everyone will own up to it; but I do. If I put my mind to it I can recall many of the times I obsessively collected all the Everley Brothers records I could find, and all the Biggles book I could read; I went through a stage of collecting DVDs and CDs and, when I discovered how to ger free downloads from the internet, I went mad with films, TV shows and music to the point where it would be impossible for one person to watch all the movies I have in my collection, or all the TV shows, or listen to all the music.
My most recent craze is to look for books and, if I lived on a desert island for 100 years, I would not get through them all that I have on various disks and CDs. To compound the problem, I am now re-reading some of the favourites I first encountered in the last decade. Currently, I am re-reading the first in the series by Richard Osman, The Thursday Murder Club.
This is in preparation for being able to watch the new televised version of the saga. I don't know on which network or channel it is being shown but it doesn't matter: I'll just download it.
