   @CiaraNi That would be a good thing. It's also cheaper than paying for streaming.

     A curiosity I noticed at the library sale. Normally there's loads of room at the tables where the CDs are laid out according to genre. This year, I had to trip up twentysomethings and throw teenagers over my shoulder to get to them. Individually and in groups, they were seriously curating pop and rock sale CDs. I saw Rod Stewart, Duran Duran, Talking Heads and Missy Eliott on their piles. Anecdotally, I wondered if this was a sign of younger people resisting streaming and digital capture.

     Library sale loot. We need a word for the particular kind of joy you feel when you pay next-to-nothing for books you could have read for free before.

     10 books for 80 kr. (€10.71). In a country where your average book costs about 250 kr. or €35.

     2 CDs for 5 kr. (67 cents)

     I love the fact that the librarians provide shopping baskets.
