Is that just one or can we have multiple pizzas, say if we read dozens? Bring on the bulk!
Well, in grade school we got one for every month we read 10 books, so I think thereās definitely room for several hereā¦

They still do this, but its way harder to find a pizza hut now.
Since others posted their book collections, I figured Iād post my shelf too. I donāt have nearly as many books as you guys, but I only started buying them at the end of last year. I have fallen in love with leather-bounds as you can see.

Looks good man, and leather books are great.
Remember that they are books, not interior design, so stupid shit like organizing them by color or turning them around is a flashing neon sign that you donāt read.
When I got married my wife was suprised to have cookbooks in the fridge. My āAny shelf can be a bookshelf,ā defense didnāt work.

Iāve never understood this. Most of my books are organized by topic, and then sometimes by authorās name, but I have a shelf of books that I really frequently pick up, and theyāre just kind of shoved on the shelf because I grab them so often. Either way, Iām familiar enough with them to recognize the cover or know where I last put it, even if theyāre not organized. I feel like organizing by color would be similar. Itās not conventional, but if you know what you have and where you keep it, what does it matter how the books are organized?
My wife and I had this debate with spices. I keep all the spices alphabetically, and all in one place. Sheād rather store them āthematicallyā: baking spices, italian spices, indian spices. Mostly that just means we have cinnamon in a few different places.
Iām now a little tempted to organize my books by color.
I think once youāve accumulated enough, you have to succumb to chaos.
Itās faster and more efficient. Chaotic, you might say.
Same. As a visual person I scan a bookshelf and already know size/color/title/lettering, so why waste time organizing them?
Youāre a monster.
I do understand that haha. Currently I have the books organized by the authorās last name A-Z, but theres a few sets that I like to display differently, like the 3rd and 4th shelves. It also helps take up space, since Iād have 3 empty shelves if I just lined the books up. I do read them, trust me! 
Once my collection gets much bigger itāll be harder to do stuff like this.
Alphabetically is the way to go for me. Iāve tended to always think about it like this: if a stranger were to walk in and try to find something, what is the most common/logical way that the organization could be done to make it easier for them? A-Z is what most people jump to first, so thatās what I do.
