CIRCLE WITH A DOT

I'm not only the principal shopper, but also the chief cook and bottlewasher, so I 'most never come home without the right stuff.

La sonate de Vinteuil dans Un amour de Swann. Et des torrents d'autres morceaux associés avec des tas de gens du passé.

Yes to books, yes to full albums.... I would add playlists, as sometimes there is a collection worth a listen to explore a theme, a particular instrument, to compare/contrast periods. artists, ensembles, or even to evoke and sustain a certain range of emotions.
As an aside, Peter and the Wolf loomed large in our household, but along with a barrage of classical stuff and some jazz and experimental material. I was tasked with an extended solo on PNTW in our school orchestra presentation, though I was a trumpeter and had to improvise on the string theme. My right knee shook and threatened to buckle for the duration.
Also, in terms of reading, while I love entire books, I need to acknowledge that all books aren't born equal and there are more of them than I can hope to read in several lifetimes. Daniel Pennac's Reader's Bill of Rights is a great document in reinforcing the idea that we need to give ourselves permission to read what, how, and when we choose.

@chris Permanent DST...
When the idea of time zones was implemented, it was about having local time coincide with solar time. DST is a jerk to the side by the business interests who want people to have more shopping time at the end of the work day, so we get to have the sun overhead at one rather than at noon. Besides, I'm not comfortable being on the same distortion as Danielle Smith. W'know what other jurisdiction is more than a little out of whack? Spain is on the same time as Berlin, because 1939, Franco and Hitler. Eby screwed the pooch.
