That's only about half-way up that particular pile of books too - there's another one BEHIND that pile that's a similar height, all of them are read books that really need to be put in the Library.
The To Be Read books are currently in 6 piles - and they're just the ones in the loungeroom. There are MANY more in the Library (and the Library-offshoot, and a couple more in the upstairs landing bookshelf).
We will probably be buried alive by our books one day...
About 18 months ago we got rid of 20 archive boxes full (donated to one of the local charities for their shop), and that barely made a dent in our collection. And last summer we gave two large bags to one of the daughters of a person I play softball with, who's a big reader as well, and was running out of things to read.
