I have a large library by most normal standards

This (with a few judicious alterations) could be me in about 25 years (if I’m not killed before then by a collapsing shelf). Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Books are much more than container vessels for ideas. They are very nearly living things, or at least are more than the sum of their parts.

I'm only not like that because I resist. And I live in an apartment. I do have things like an extensive collection of Edgar Rice Burroughs novels, even though I hated the only one I read.

I shelve my books by how long ago I decided I wanted to read them. My CDs are organized by artist and then chronologically, though.

O.o

Surprisingly enough, his shelves remind me of your set up.

And if I had the space and more money, man. *cries* My sad bookshelves are creaking, and every piece of furniture I have that has space in it - ie. my sailor's trunk, my phone hutch, etc. has books in it.

So...yes, this could be you. *laughs*
