There's a novel out now that's written in the form of an auction catalog. It's called Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry. I think it'd be interesting to look at, especially after going to an auction in Philadelphia to buy books for our bookshop, but I've heard that the book itself is a little too cute. It seems like lots of young people, or maybe just people, love collecting objects. For instance, I knew a group of people who bought the entire ball cage from a grocery store and put it in their living room. I also knew a guy who bought a collection of children's gas masks from eBay, put a different colored light in each one, and hung them on his wall. He also had a hair drying chair in his bedroom, and lots of taxidermy animals.
