Books
My bookcase is now starting to actually reflect my tastes.
...not that there were huge number of books on there that weren't to my taste. After all, they're all books I own and read - most of which I bought myself.
But, for a while there, the selection of books on my bookcase weren't really covering the full range of books I like. Reason being, I was at uni.
Uni had a massive library, including huge amounts of Agatha Christie, and the entire Discworld series, and stuff like that. If I wanted to read mystery novels or sci-fi, I'd just go there.
Then I left uni - at exactly the same time as I got utterly sick of reading the same stuff over and over again, and decided to branch out. I didn't read any Discworld, or any murder mysteries, so I never bought them.
But now, having had a few years to stop being sick of them, and more importantly having massive amounts of sitting-on-a-train time between inspections, I'm back to reading my old favourites.
And, after several years of reading random stuff I'd never heard of before, Agatha and Terry are back to playing a starring role in my fiction adventures, and a large portion of my bookcase finally looks like the sections I loved at my uni library.*
* Or it will, once I also have huge amounts of Asterix, Tintin, and X-men comics.
