Back in the day I bought every Mozart and Beethoven CD, tried to put them in order and squeeze in some Erik Satie but ran out of space in my old 100 disc player. So I listen to K-Pop now. nytimes.com/2020/12/02/art…
So I transferred them all to digital and the hard drive crashed. Made me think how ridiculously cheap to buy the entire worlds of great composers. (I handpicked my recordings, not the Walmart Christmas version) But I thought what a great gift for Christmas (the digital versions) 
You should also be eyeballing the complete 17 Volumes of Burton's 1001 Arabian Nights (plus one) for $750 or at least a Jack London pretentious leather-bound set for $350. Don't forget Burtons Supplemental books with Anthropological and Explanatory notes abebooks.com/servlet/BookDe…
Or you can be cruel and take part in this brutal insult to the human spirit of adventure by buying EVERY book Burton wrote (18,350 pages) smashed into an ebook for $1.99 amazon.com/Collected-Work…
Both Erik Satie and Richard F. Burton were considered somewhat insane. I of course disagree.
If you are not familiar with Richar F Burton, crack one of his bios and be amazed. He kept two notebooks one for scientific notes and the other for cultural notes. His wife burned all the "cultural" notebooks. His office had 11 desks, one for each project.
