No, not at all. That doesn't mean they won't come, but so far I feel really good about it. It's not indifference either. I actually feel happy to have them gone . . . like having the collection boxed up in my storage closet was subconsciously hanging over me--a thing that had to be done, something I needed to address but wasn't addressing. We'll see how I feel down the road, I guess. I'm not too worried. I think I may have already said it, but the thing is, I gave away the collection, not the experience. I still did it, and barring something like Alzheimer's, I'll always have that.

Also you should take solace knowing someone else cares enough to pay that much money, and they are going to a good home where someone will take care of them. Thats kind of how I will feel if I ever sell my comic collection :lol. Im totally into nostalgia and my childhood etc, so Ill probably never sell em. Im not a hoarder or anything, but if I have some sort of sentimental attachment to something, I will keep it. Hell, I have all my original Nintendo consoles that my mom got me. I always sell stuff that I bought myself though, I feel bad selling something someone gave me as a gift.
On the Vonnegut novels, what are some good ones to grab? A friend and I started a conversation about what books I should read but we got cut off and she didnt get to tell me what to get. I know Slaughterhouse 5 is his famous one, but what are some others? Hell those are probably worth money now considering he passed away.

I liked Slaughterhouse 5, but it's not nearly my favorite. I think I liked Breakfast of Champions, Cat's Cradle, The Sirens of Titan and Venus On the Half Shell more. There are also a bunch of highly regarded ones I've still not read like God Bless You Mr. Rosewater, Player Piano, and a bunch of others that don't immediately come to mind.

+1,000 to Breakfast of Champions and Sirens of Titan. I liked the historical aspect of SH5 but really felt like Vonnegut didn't hit is full stride like he does in some of his other works.
