And, why do we do this to ourselves?

I have two copies of:

  • The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

  • Small Island by Andrea Levy

  • Thinking Clearly by Jill Leblanc

These are due to integration between my partner’s books and my own.

  • The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

  • No Logo by Naomi Klein

  • Island by Aldous Huxley

These are because they are some of my favourite books and, except for No Logo, I have one hardcover and one softcover edition.

    I think only two now:

    • The Hobbit - one large, illustrated edition but also my original paperback version, which I am loath to let go
    • Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - both my wife and I are very fond of our individual copies.

    I do have two versions of Plato’s Symposium, but one is in a volume along with the Karma Sutra, and another is with a couple of other Socratic dialogues, so not really the same book as such.
