Most of my books are in boxes and under desks. No money to buy so many
shelves.

I buy adjustable shelving, and wood, and make my own whenever I decide a
piece of wall is being underused. It's a big house.

Why not? My parents' bookshelves (after they moved beyond the orange

my father-in-law finally gave up and donated most of his books
to the local library. now he can re-read them when he wants, and
my mil isn't on his case about cluttering up the house.
i don't think i could do that, though. i have too firm an
attachment to my books. i remember when i acquired each one.

We visited a house like that, once. Expensive ('Millionaires' Row'), big
swimming pool, lots of garden, entirely lawn. And not a book in the
house, not even in the children's rooms. We even checked a few cupboards
in case they'd been tidied away. The owners went from okay to dubious
people.

I have built three new ones in the last few months and they are

use their shelves.
Of course Judith, who has an amazing eye for good books and
authors goes to the Sunday markets nearly every week and comes
back with a few or a lot depending on what she finds.
I am at present reading "The Years of Rice and Salt" by Kim
Stanley Robinson. It is amazingly weird and interesting.
New books are things we get as presents. I never buy new unless
forced into it by circumstance. Being the first to read a book
gives me no pleasure. I much prefer noticing the chocolate and
coffee stains and wondering about the people who supplied them.
Chocolate seems to be a major thing for book lovers.

It's when you get a second-hand book of an 'interesting' kind, and you
find pages stuck together.

Yeah but you can't get those books at my library. Well... to be
completely truthful there is a large section on sheep. I always
thought the pages sticking together were due to some agricultural
product. Now I'm not so sure...

First you discover that ordering them to have even top surfaces lets you
lie more books on top of them, then you see that you can put books in
front of the rear line-up, then you start having a few that you are
about to read in a little tidy pile. But the pile gets larger, and
topples, and you end up with two piles for stability - temporary, of
course. Then one of them topples and knocks over the other...

... at least, until you reach the point where the shelves take up space
that could be used by more books. By then, you will be sitting on books
and eating off books and walking on books.
First you discover that ordering them to have even top surfaces lets you
lie more books on top of them, then you see that you can put books in
front of the rear line-up, then you start having a few that you are
about to read in a little tidy pile. But the pile gets larger, and
topples, and you end up with two piles for stability - temporary, of
course. Then one of them topples and knocks over the other...
.... then you start pulling out all the very big coffee-table books to use as
desk-tops across heaps of smaller ones, so that you can get your knees
under the lap-top ...
Stacks of books are more stable if you arrange them like bricks in a wall,
rather than just single vertical heaps. You can even 'corbel' them to
leave space for doors. With care, you can remove one book without
disturbing the others.

It is quite possible to have too few.

Too true, alas. I put up some more yesterday, but there are still a lot
of books double-banked, and a stack of them under the desk - mainly ones
that my wife wouldn't want Wynne to read. She's far more prudish than he
is. Or me, come to that.

One of my favorite authors,Susan Sontag,had literally thousands of
books in her apartment...something like 16,000 I think...and she said
that she remembered everything she read in the books...

We have thousands, but maybe not that many. I used to be able to
remember the source of everything (and where the book was), but then my
mind went.
