SRS: The scary part about that post you quoted from JIK is that it was a year ago, and the "system" is still the same! The piles are just higher...sigh.

When we first moved here, about 10 years or so ago, and arranged all the basement books, I had grandiose plans of taking the laptop down there and recording all of them. "Butfirst" I needed to sort them so I could separate mine from his (he had most of his on a list already, and I wasn't about to duplicate all that work!). Well, three years later, with the help of my grandson, I finally got them all sorted. Of course, by that time I had plans to hook the laptop up to my sewing machine, so the original project went off into the ether.

I do have most of my "upstairs" books on a computer list, but of course it needs to be updated rather badly.

There's no end in sight.

Our local Barnes & Noble is closing one of their stores to move into a new one a bit more "uptown." They're selling their fixtures for ridiculously low prices and there were still a couple of the round display shelves available yesterday. My suggestion that we buy a couple fell on dear ears, however. The fact that we'd have to throw out our living room furniture is entirely beside the point--it would give us another two large bookcases! One MUST get the priorities in line, don't you think?
