I travel a great deal, but mainly commute to work on the 05.17 from Bremen each week day.

I read heavy books, collect old photographs, and write long letters. My working clothes are kilts, but I do own one pair of jeans.

This is a small, occasional record of those travels by train and bus, of books read and letters written, and sometimes the events in between. Posts are automatically deleted after three months.

Don't expect any deep philosophical content here!

I need to reorganize my fiction bookshelves. What system has worked best for you? I'm leaning towards going by author, though that leaves the question of how to treat anthologies. Maybe anthologies could be first, or shelved by the editor's name. Alphabetical by title (preceded by numbers) might work just as well as by author.

I had been doing them by height size, except for the graphic novels, which tend not to match any standard size.

These particular bookshelves are all fiction (except for graphic nonfiction) so organizing by subject seems unwieldy.

at present, the books which I have unpacked are sorted by the order they came out of the boxes. New books arriving and being read go into the spaces.

@kimlockhartga

as do I, and trying to find that one book - or, as happened recently, three books from a set - is a nightmare. I have been promising to sort them for a year. Mind you, I've being promising to unpack them for that same year.

I sometimes thought my father thought he could't die while he still had books on his pending pile (a stab at immortality I seem to be replicating)... so, it was strangely touching to see Tom Gauld has had similar thoughts.

I recently admitted to a friend that I never finish a book before going to sleep, there is always a little bit left to be read, and the next one is there waiting. The reasoning being that I am simply too stubborn to leave something unread, and will then awaken the next morning.
