It's vice versa for me. I prefer to live in the present and not to dwell on the past or the future. It's not that I have many painful or traumatic memories (less than average amount of those, actually); it's just the way I am. I'm an awful hoarder of things I like, OTOH. Books (mostly ebooks for the last 7 years), favorite magazines, Kindles. What I'm totally unable to hoard is money.

My Calibre library consists of roughly 15 000 ebooks. They're "normal books". I don't do short stories or novellas, and my fanfic days were 20 years ago or so. Lost the urge.

All my ebooks are manually edited (metadata, covers, formatting) and converted to azw3. Managing my Calibre library is practically a second full-time job for me. Well, I enjoy fiddling with it, otherwise I wouldn't have spent countless hours on the activity.
