Mine is biased way toward nonfiction. And within nonfiction, I am heavy on:
science
mathematics
space exploration
music biz biographies

I can never find time to call a decent carpenter to make nice shelves for me. My books lie on the floor, that is on the carpets, it's a colossal mess, it reminds me on scenes I can see on Crime Reality channel, American cop would probably think he'd discovered a serial killer, and those books are the books I get from Scandinavian publishers in order to translate them, altså er det tale om skønlitteratur, so its belles letres, mostly novels, short stories, some non-fiction., some poetry in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and a small portion In Icelandic and Faroese. And myriad of disctionaries, English-Danish, Danish-English, Swedish-Danish, Norewgian Bokmål-English, Nynorsk dialects, Pronunciation books, etc.
I really have to get shelves mounted sometime.
Now and then I remove a few books that I don't need anymore and that would give space for new ones. The books I will give/throw away are those that for some reason I haven't read. There are some good books here that I have read and that will stay but if somebody wants them, they can keep them. And there are some that will stay forever to give me the chance to read them again... and again.
