One of my friends has just helped me get some new shelves up in my house, so I've been busy unpacking lots of books that have just been sitting in boxes since I moved here. (Just one more box left to find homes for, not so bad considering I had about ten boxes originally :)
I've realised that I've not got a great deal of contemporary fiction, most of what I do buy tends to go straight to a friend or the charity shop afterwards. The books that I'll hang onto tend to be more the arty type eye-candy books or the classics. Don't know if that makes me a snob, or maybe I'm just not finding the right kind of modern fiction???
So what kind of book collections do everyone else have, and where do you find your best inspiration from?
