I spent yesterday cleaning up my apartment a bit, which for my consists of mostly trying to get all books up off the floor/and or any other available flat-ish surface. I've managed to get all my manga up on their bookshelves. I would celebrate more about that except that my bookshelves are not completely full to the brim. That means if the 50 or 60 books I have currently lent out to people come back any time soon, I will have no where to put them. I'll be back to stacking books on the floor next to the bookcases. I don't like to do that, since I live in a basement apartment that could and does spring leaks occasionally.
My 'regular' books are even worse off as there is absolutely no more room on those shelves. Usually I keep one shelf (or rather one layer of one shelf, because I stack in two layers) free to keep all my unread books together. Then when I want something to read I just cruise over and pluck one off. But now my unread books are stacked up on my end table, because I had to use that space for read books that had no home. There were more of those then unread, so goodbye unread shelf.
Must renew house hunt so I can have more space to store books. Plus, it's probably not a bad idea to go through my regular books again for a purge. I hate doing that though, because as soon as I get rid of something I want to read it again.
