My mother's main hoarding theme is word related. When it was just books, I had some sympathy. I too have the strong desire to learn *everything*. Well, at least everything that interests me at all.

I think my uncle has expanded her range, so to speak. She was always fond of clutter, but I think it's possibly only since he came that she is filling her house with non-word related actual trash (as opposed to useless clutter).

I know there's a hoarder in me waiting to come out if I'm not vigilant. I do tend to have way too much stuff. But I'm pretty good at periodically purging what hasn't been used in recent memory. Plus I value space nearly as much as I value stuff.

Thank heavens for Kindle. :)
