Hobby is something on how we keep seeking, locating, acquiring, organizing, cataloging, displaying, storing, and maintaining. For example like hobby on books, I believe book lovers out there went through adventures and awesome experiences in collecting their books. It can be an absorbing and enjoyable when they get the unique, biggest, smallest or the most interesting books in life experiences.
