Ooooh. I'd love to see photos of your shelves! Could you share them.

  https://i.imgur.com/gKDvqRh.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/gKDvqRh.jpeg is one wall of the room I'm in now. Leftmost column is mathematics. Next column is mathematics shading into computing (the top shelf is numerical analysis and the like). Next column is mostly physics and physics-adjacent science, with some psychology/neuroscience at the bottom. Rightmost column is other science. There's another smaller wall with economics, business, finance, history, politics, social commentary, miscellaneous humanities, philosophy, religion[1], and reference books. [1] I'm not an adherent of any religion, but for many years I was and I have retained a little interest in theological matters despite now thinking that the religion in question is wrong about pretty much everything. Fiction is in the bedroom and on the landing. Other subjects are elsewhere (e.g., music is in the same room as the piano; language and books-about-literature are in the guest bedroom). Books with their spines facing up instead of out are ones I haven't read yet. I don't guarantee that I have read every page of every other book, though. The presence of a book on those shelves is not necessarily an endorsement. I have some books I don't think are very good but that I don't dislike enough to throw them away :-). (There isn't actually anything super-secret displayed on the monitor but I thought I should censor it as a matter of principle. The other thing that might look like an information leak is the front of a DVD box, but that happens to be a box with no actual DVD in it and I don't even remember why I have it. :-) )
