 I just ran across the results of a poll that asked 29,000 Americans about their book-owning habits, and friends, I am shocked — shocked! — to report that there are people who have absolutely no organizational system whatsoever. Worse — worse, I tell you — there are some who sort their books by color. Color!

Right now, I have about 2/3rds of my 4,000 books in the garage in 30 odd cardboard boxes.  There are about a thousand or so books in two bookshelves in my bedroom that I have read in the last five years.  Then I have the bookshelf of my SBR (strategic book reserve) of my 400 to 500 books waiting to be read.  Plus the 50 books on my nightstand.  Finding any specific book can take quite a while as nothing is sorted.
I am negotiating with my wife about bringing in another bookshelf from the garage for our bedroom.  The negotiation is not going well even though our bedroom is 16 feet by 25 feet.  I also have my 55 inch tv and a computer desk in there.
