I am getting ready to organize books. Move them around, try to find homes on shelves... I am starting by gathering all of the books for children. They have been spread around the house. Once they are all together there may be some space somewhere that inspires my next move.

We talked about this a bit this weekend. Do all the books go together? Different spots for people you know? Do essays by poets go with poetry or essays? Why does my Gloucester shelf include not just Olson, but Creeley and Williams? Should books of music be in the living room, near the instruments, and musical history in the study?

What have you done with your books?
