You guys try too hard. My books are literally all stacked up in my closet randomly on some larger shelves. I know where they all are. It's great.
It would take someone else a good twenty minutes to find anything, though. Like literally; fantasy, classics, mythological, contemporary, sci-fi, writing, linguistics, etc...are all just mixed up together. Let's call it ordered chaos.
On a similar, yet, unrelated note--you all should see my writing notes. If I died halfway through writing the series I am planning, there would be no one who would be able to put the rest of the story together. Nothing is in order and most of it is just random note after random note.
Here, let me grab one.
On a sticky note that was attached to some prose that had nothing to do with the note: "Dagger doesn't really hold hidden powers...it's just a piece of the puzzle you need on the road to TDP. The enchantment may work now...think."
Or this:
"On Atrius:
'I should feel guilty.'
He didn't.

The Beowulf monty python thing...."(I can't reveal the rest of this 
)
It's going to be hell when I actually have to put this all together! Woo!
Duuuuude. If there was such a thing as linguistic acrobatics, i can imagine that as a primary example. Either that, or on the blooper reel for the sport...i can't real tell yet.
Reminds me of the Metal art--where the "Artists" put together a pile of mashed up or smoothed up slabs and chunks of I'm sitting there thinking, "Is there a specific order to all this? Was this intentional? Perhaps he knew that the pompous rich folk wouldn't dare call it crap, fearing that others might understand it and they will be seen as less than competent. So they sit there admiring in full focus. Making his random, artless piece, into an "abstract" art...
Did I just get compared to a bad artist?
No, a talentless yet clever artist.
...
You would have to see my writing before you come to that conclusion. Personally, I like to think I'm talented.
I'm not sure.....but, just for my part, I don't think a college student's bookshelf is anything like metal art. Yours actually sounded pretty organized, just eclectic. Nothing wrong with that at all. 
Ha-ha! Whats more--when I actually looked at it this last weekend, it was actually a little more organized then I had previously thought. Take that bookshelf!
