When it comes to books, I can end up learning more with a smaller library --- it forces me to go into subjects or authors I wouldn't have if I'd had more choice.
Why do you ask?--did you have a book to recommend?
I probably will eventually. But actually I was thinking about music.
BTW if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
Oh, that's what you meant--doh! :) I haven't checked what the library here has as far as music. I own a small but decent set of tapes and CDs that I usually put on if I want to listen to something.
