(Collectively) Seen EVERY movie ever made; and read EVERY book ever written?

If not, what does any one of them need to see or read to complete their collection?

Possibly 'Le Duel d'Hamlet'?

Moreover, how do they find time to do their nails, hair and household chores?

Maybe they have teams of servants?

Or maybe an obscure movie starring Lee J Cobb (or a lookalike)?

Howdy-hi, Bryan!

Regarding the matter of how I find the time, I am in the unfortunate
circumstance of having being more-or-less bedfast for several years. I
credit bodily infirmity for having helped my mind to become stronger
(or at least better fed). Thanks to cable television, a huge variety
of movies is at my beck and call, and I acquired a large personal
library of books several years ago when I worked at a wonderful used
book store whose owner allowed employees to purchase their choices for
a pittance. Insomnia and pain often drive me to the pleasures of the
printed word: I've been known to devour two or three books in a
restless night. Since I have stacks and stacks of books that I intend
to read, it is likely that I shan't run out of mind-food any time
soon!

I really haven't seen every movie and read every book. There are a
couple of genres in which I am quite deficient...

So many books, so little time!
If I could buy 'em for a dime,
I'd scoop up lots of mysteries
And sci-fi books and histories
And arcane scary Lovecraft stuff
And whimsies filled with comic fluff
And children's tales and plays and verse,
Oh, far too many for my purse!
In every genre my mind advances 
Except for westerns and romances.

Hi Pink 

Many Thanks for your answer which, as always, has lit up this here GA-laxy.

I am also grateful for the various comments.

All the Very Best

From your English amigo

Bryan

I'd make a bet that they haven't read 'Memoirs' by Rene Levesque.

OK, CH ...

How much are you betting?

Bryan

I don't believe they've read "Ethel the Aardvark Goes Quantity
Surveying."  Nor have they read "Rarnaby Budge" by Charles Dikkens,
the well-known Dutch author.

Hi Bryan,

To be honest, I don't have much time to read. The books I do find are
after hours of searching. (I love the hunt)! However, there are times
I *finally* give up, another researcher answers it and I hit my head
on the wall thinking "why didn't I try those search words!"

By the way, I have no servants, but my husband has a favorite saying
when I ask him to cook or do the shopping. He asks "So, what did your
last servant die of?!" ;-)

Bryan ... If i could bet Jerraboo's money....

Pink,

   You & Stephen Hawking should get together. :)

   But seriously, what is the nature of your condition? I ask out of
some degree of kindredness; I'm fibromyalgic myself. Although I can
get out and do some things a great deal of the time, the discomfort
does call the shots, and excludes being able to maintain anything
resembling a work schedule. Thus, I've been effectively retired for
the last couple of years.

Bryan,

Many, many thanks for the five stars and the lavish tip! Perhaps I
shall buy some westerns and romances with this money. Or, then again,
maybe I should write some. At least that would guarantee that they'd
be the sort of thing I enjoy reading.
