In addition, there are roughly 350 non-fiction books (sociology/anthropology/urban studies/history/philosophy) and somewhere between 200-250 art monographs on the shelves. And this is after slimming down the collection! I actually gave away two bookcases before moving from Chicago. Back then, there were still massive overflows of books. I believe if I still had those two bookcases I would be able to get nearly all of the boxed up books onto shelves, so there has been real progress. Ideally, I would get rid of all books not on bookcases to force myself to thin out the collection even more (like not buying bigger pants when the current pants start getting tight), but I'll probably compromise and acquire one more bookcase after the next move.
Anyway, E-J takes us almost to the end of the middle bookcase.
