Packrattery

     A recent article about famous (infamous)* SF writer and screenwriter Harlan Ellison included a few photos of the late author's home, "Ellison Wonderland."

     Between that, the Bradbury Center's re-creation of Ray Bradbury's workspace and few pictures I have seen of Doc Savage creator Lester Dent's Missouri "House of Gadgets" home and Theodore Sturgeon's place, I'm convinced writers are packrats, gadgeteers and book accumulators.

     And if that's a requirement, I'm well on my way.
