Organized chaos, I see!

This is what my house looked like for a few weeks last year, as I sorted,
sold or gave away my book collection of 50 years, some 8000 books in all.
They were just collecting dirt, nobody was even borrowing them, and I
wanted them to be read! So I kept a few hundred valuable ones, and those
that had a personal sentimental value, and ruthlessly got rid of the rest,
freeing up oodles of space in my house.
Cheers
Jayanand
