I have 1 point.

I never owned an encyclopedia.

If I had the money then I definitely would have owned one.

    As kids my sister and I found a set of old 1950's World Book Encyclopedias that a family in our neighborhood was throwing out. We brought them home on a wagon. We used them for years. They were definitely kinda dated--like, in the article about guinea pigs, it claimed they were the perfect animal for scientific research because they don't feel pain, which is obviously bullshit and/or propaganda. But that was actually kind of eye-opening for me at the time, because I didn't have a lot of experience of seemingly authoritative things that were also in error. It still had a lot of useful info, too.
