The Damnable Constraints of Reality
Aug. 27th, 2013 09:45 pmMore books than shelves: a problem.
Option 1: Get rid of all your books and use the library!
No. That is stupid. I already use the library.
Option 2: Get rid of some of your books, then. I bet you will not even think of them if they aren't there.
Exactly. That is why they have to be there.
Option 3: More shelves?
Out of walls.
Option 4: Get rid of Ciro's books and take over his shelves, liebensraum style.
He's bigger than me. Otherwise, yes, this is obviously the right answer.
Option 5: Some books in the attic? Maybe rotated seasonally?
I am afraid it might come to that.
[Edited to add: I am not looking for outside help solving this problem. I have a pretty good grasp of bookshelves, the spaces in my house, and the myriad ways I could physically manipulate my books if I so desire. This entry is what you might call comic and self-aware.]
