Aside from literature, which I love, I have found that I have quite a fondness for owning textbooks, both physical and digital. (Reading them is a whole different story, though)
I have a textbook for Non-Classical Logic, Rock-Forming-Minerals, both of which I don’t even begin to comprehend as I lack the fundamentals, General Physics, General Maths, Zoology, Lichen, Insect Morphology (didn’t even know about that one anymore), Invertebrates excluding insects, Freshwater Biology, a bunch of species identification keys, Inductive Statistics, etc. etc.
Some of those I obviously need for university, but most are stuff I just found for free somewhere and took or downloaded with the intention of learning something.
I always have this scenario in mind of society collapsing, but it won’t be a problem for me because I have a lot of things to learn. Does anyone here have a similar “condition”? Haha
I am guilty of collecting textbooks lol. I absolutely love books in general and have a dream library I’ve been working on for a few years. While the majority of my book collection are books I reread often, others I may reread every few years and some I’ve read once with no intent to reread and Im even guilty of having a few I’ve never read and honestly don’t know if I will ever read. I definitely love my textbooks though, and they range in subjects for sure. I just love knowing if I need information on something I have a book I can go read. Makes me feel better others do this too!
