perspective on books

I knew that I had a decent collection of books. In the shed where I had lived for the last 8 years my ever expanding colection didn't seem that big. Now that ALL of it is in a flat in Sydney i'm beginning to feel a little overwhelmed. There are books in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the bedroom, in the hall, on the living room table, in the spare room, in the study, on the floor, on chairs, on bookshelves, on top of bookshelves, double stacked on bookshelves......ahggghh!
