    I actually first bought a Kindle when I had filled the last bit of space in the last bookshelf in my house. About 2,500 e-books later, I still haven’t parted with a single hard copy book, despite having moved 3 times since!

    Have you read the biography of Garibaldi?
    My favourite Batman books feature The Penguin, very enjoyable with a bourbon cream liqueur, very good for the digestive system. Mmmm nice. :bandit:

    Same with me. Kindle full of books and 4 bookcases.

    I've tried to thin it out, and then I come across a charity shop with a few gems in it and I fill any space I might have made

    My favourite Van Gogh, which Vincent himself thought his best work. I have a print of this in my dining room, purchased at the Museum Van Gogh in Amsterdam. This is Harvest at La Crau, with Montmajour in the Background:

    Art & Literature? Can we have one on Science & Nature, or would that be too trivial a pursuit? :1980_boogie_down:

    I see you're combining the art and biscuit theme. A painting by Edvard Munch
