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.

    • The Princess Bride: someone close gifted me the paperback without realizing I already had the hardcover, and I don’t have the heart to give it away.
    • The Return of the King, because I grew up with a secondhand mishmash of editions. Over the years I’ve collected one full matching set, but kept the second RotK because it has a foldout map.
    • The Odyssey: the translation I had for college, plus a different translation I was given (haven’t read it; not sure how different it is).
    • Alice in Wonderland, although not sure this counts, since they’re in different collections.
