I was worried about tackling this over-1000-page doorstop, but at this rate I'll have finished it in about 3½ weeks (touch wood). It's partly a testament to it being compelling; it's more a sign of how radically my reading habits have changed in the last couple of years.

Collection Count

Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.

After spending over £90 on Kill Bill last week, this week my £70 edition of Hamilton turned up. Bit crazy, that. Hope it's not a sign of the way the entire market's going. Also this week: a DVD-to-4K leap. Always fun.

Number of titles in collection: 3,734 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 961 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,773 [up 2]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 560 [up 2]

Number of discs in collection: 8,968 [up 4]

Number of additional cuts: 513 [up 1]
