The Tale of Two Shelves

The (mostly) Fiction Wall

Content:

  • “My” fiction
  • The husband’s fiction (e.g. All the Philip Roth!)
  • Some narrative non-fiction, memoirs, etc.
  • Some of our favorite kid’s books (just a fraction of our kid’s collection)
  • Tintins and graphic novels
  • Coffee table books (mostly art and science)
  • Photo albums and baby books

The Sort: Separated into hardback and paperback and then sorted by author’s last name.

The Plan: Read as much as possible and write a little here

The Boring (but colorful) Side

Content:

  • Architecture books
  • Education books
  • Travel books
  • More memoirs
  • Science books
  • Math books
  • The kids’ baby books
  • A few histories
  • Some parenting books
  • Increasing number of books on aging

The Sort: By color, because who cares anything about these books except for how they look anymore!

The Plan: Continue to fully ignore, except to stare at on their shelf over the TV
