We went in search of bookshelves this morning - at IKEA. I do not really care for the shopping experience at IKEA and they did not have what we wanted in stock. The nice girl in the checkout area informed us that the wanted items should be in by January 17th. Maybe.
What we chose is good standard, almost municipal library type shelving. There were fancier and more costly things available but they would house less books and the shelving was not adjustable. Dad and I want to be able to store books, not decorate the house.
We probably have far too many books but I am loathe to give books away. Even the crime novels prove useful from time to time - for friends going on holiday or people who are at the point in convalescence where a book seems worth reading but they do not want anything too heavy.
My current light reading is a curious book by James Church, "A corpse in the Koryo" - a detective novel of sorts about a police inspector in North Korea. The author is apparently a former intelligence officer - but whether his view of North Korean affairs is accurate is another story. I suspect some of his remarks about communist internal non-cooperation are.
