Yeah, it can be - I've almost run out of (programming related) books that I want, though.

I'm glad you asked!
Modesty has prevented my speaking out sooner.
I don't want to appear boastful,
And please don't bruit this about,
But I have assembled one of the finest collections in the world.
It's taken years,
And it's not been without cost.
It's required my wardrobe to be constantly updated,
And exponential increases in closet space.
What's more the conditions have had to be just right
And carefully maintained.
Whatever the sacrifice, however,
It paid off in the end.
Say what?
What is it?
Oh... Spoilerpocket fluff. ;)

Apparently I collect ToDo lists. And like a true collector, I keep them in their original form. Nothing is checked off. I insure that I don't actually do anything on these lists so I am not forced to damage this collection by scratching something out. My collection is quite large and it is spread throughout my home and office cubicle.

I am a packrat in every sense of what that word can mean, including being a digital packrat.
My collections have collections. And what I mean by that is that I seem to collect dust collectors the most.
I am one of many in a long line of weird packrats that collect the oddest stuff.
This conversation will explain exactly how bad it is and how far back it goes:

Another interesting topic :)
I used to collect some physcial items, these days it's more virtual. Nothing obsessive. And yes, I still 'collect' books, but not in a way to get to a complete collection of something (say all German philosophers of the last 2 centuries), but to learn what I like to learn more about.
