"These
are actually the bookcases combining my books and my husband's. The
left end is (more or less) his non-fiction area, the rest of the
non-fiction is pretty much mine. On the right end, almost 100% of the
science fiction is his, and the rest of the fiction is mine. I read
science fiction, too, but he reads it almost exclusively. Other shelves
in the den hold decades worth of paperbacks."
Addendum: updated from 2013...
"We moved house a little over three years ago, and while we
still have the white bookcases shown in the photo you reposted
recently, they are configured differently and in different areas.
The attached photo is of half the bookcases in our
"studio", and the ones on the left represent all the
science fiction paperbacks my husband has purchased and read
since he switched from comic books at age 14. They are
double-depth, and roughly in alpha order by author. This year he
decided to re-read his way through Heinlein and we had all but
two titles on hand. Thank goodness he switched a few years ago
to borrowing from the library.
I started using an app and website called Libib. I've
catalogued our entire library with it, so when I'm at a
bookstore I can quickly check to make sure an attractive title
was not equally attractive in the past and already on our bookshelf."
