Counterpoint: I don't own anywhere near as many jazz records as Haruki Murakami, but I do own most books by Murakami.

@Richard_Littler I used Murakami to learn both Japanese and Dutch! His language is not too simple but also not overwrought.

@Richard_Littler I want that room and that sound system.

@Richard_Littler

Wow. I guess he had a PC to keep inventory and location of the albums.

No way I could track all of that in my head.

If he listened to one album a day it would take 27+ years to hear them all.

@Richard_Littler Ground floor or greatly reinforced floor joists, that's a lot of weight. Am reviving my vinyl collection this year. Have half a mind to file them in date order.
