Yesterday I spent a large chunk of my day reorganizing my books. This somewhat more useful than it sounds, as it involved taking books that used to be in boxes downstairs and stacking them behind other books on top of my bookshelf, more efficiently arranging books, and getting rid of almost a box full [...]
