My wife would like us to redecorate our living room, this is all OK with me as it’s starting to look a bit shabby after 5 years of abuse from our kids. The real bite is that she wants me to reduce my book collection, considerably.

Given that the majority of the books I’ve bought are Science Fiction, and complete series at that, where can I possibly expect to start? These books feel like a tangible part of my persona, choosing which to keep and which to discard will for all intents and purposes feel like editing out parts of my own psyche.

So perhaps I’m being a little over sensitive, but where would you start given the same predicament?

Yesterday was Fathers day here in the UK (and I guess in a lot of other places around the globe), I was awoken from a nice lie in by my kids bringing me a delicious breakfast in bed. After eating breakfast my kids gave me cards and 2 heavy presents which turned out to be The Americans by Robert Frank, and 26 Different Endings by Mark Power. It’s so easy to dismiss these occasional days as a way for the card industry to get fatter
