Mapping the Dimensions of My Bibliomania

You’re probably aware that I have a pretty large library. What you might not be aware of is that, by word count, my library is larger in word count than Wikipedia.

According to the calculations today, Wikipedia has “1925 volumes in 10 stacks.” I’d estimate my own library is now somewhere north of 6,000 volumes. And translating from the 10-high shelves shown here to the 8-high helves in my library, that would me to about “P” in my hardback fiction shelves.

So far, my book-buying is outpacing all the monkeys. Now as long as they don’t buy them more typewriters…
