Now I have an orderly set of books. I’ll be able to find them easier now. If I’m wondering if I still have a book (I’ve gotten rid of many, mostly in my last move) I can zone right in on where it should be.

I also have my books catalogued in a database, using the web site http://www.librarything.com. It’s a pretty useful site and enables you to learn from other people’s collections and get recommendations for books to read, as well as other possibilities.
