Beware the fire hazard.

I still retain the books that informed my thinking over the years, but I don't have bookcases to display them in. Let alone locking bookcases like lawyers have. I lost a volume one, number one Life magazine from an unlocked bookcase.

Back then it was months or years between the 'black swan' events. Now its like this just this morning:
sciencealert.com: Research Finds It Might Not Be Consciousness That Drives The Human Mind

phys.org:Project Lyra, a mission to chase down that interstellar asteroid

computerweekly.com:The legal quagmire of creativity in artificial intelligence
Trivia bonus:
wikipedia:Oregon House, California
