I went through the rest of the bookcase and removed a bunch of books I don't expect to read, including a whole collection of mighty but ancient tomes about sailing and seamanship. I surrender that particular dream for the sake of shelf-space!

I did keep quite a number of books that I haven't read and had no recollection of owning, but which look fascinating... mostly archaeology-related. I should probably pull those out and put them on the to-read shelf instead, but that's full right now!

The whole case still needs sorting into some sort of order and shelving properly, but there will be significantly more space to do it in now.
