Two of my bookcases just collapsed under the weight of their books. I was sitting directly under them, and frankly I cannot imagine how I come not to have broken bones or worse. Now my whole sitting-room is knee-deep in books, practically all the literary heritage of Europe and the US, and absolutely no idea how to rearrange them. Nor do I like having to walk over Conrad and Tolstoy and Goethe just in order to move at all.
At least one of the bookcases is beyond repair, and I suspect the other is too. And I had been working on rearranging my library since Monday.
