You call that arranging? :) I order my books according to height and depth, that way the shelves are easier to
dust and the books are better preserved.

Oh my. Please tell me you are joking. Otherwise this reminds me of the time I had been on a holiday, and my
mother had rearranged all my books according to colour. (This was 10 years after I had moved out).

They're arranged now because the piles of books on the floor, on my desk and my
nightstand have significantly decreased.

Your method sounds really inconvenient for when you want to find a book, more useful
for storage. I try to get rid of books I haven't touched in a year, in practice it's
more like two years, but still...

Yeah I am addicted to buying language books as well. Now if I would actually start using them to learn :)

I just placed an order for 150 EUR worth of language books on Amazon...that is after doing the same thing about 2 weeks ago! Now I actually need to stop buying books and learning material and actually use them to study!
