Right now, I have about 2/3rds of my 4,000 books in the garage in 30 odd 
cardboard boxes.  There are about a thousand or so books in two 
bookshelves in my bedroom that I have read in the last five years.  Then 
I have the bookshelf of my SBR (strategic book reserve) of my 400 to 500 
books waiting to be read.  Plus the 50 books on my nightstand.  Finding 
any specific book can take quite a while as nothing is sorted.

I am negotiating with my wife about bringing in another bookshelf from 
the garage for our bedroom.  The negotiation is not going well even 
though our bedroom is 16 feet by 25 feet.  I also have my 55 inch tv and 
a computer desk in there.
