Hermione Granger studies harder than you. (her_my_nee) wrote in valarnet,
Once I did an experiment for a whole year. Every time I took a book off of my shelves to leaf through it or to read it, when I put it back, I put it back onto the shelf with the spine facing the wall. At the end of the year, I could see the books that hadn't even been touched in twelve months.
It gave me a better understanding of which books I continue to return to, and which ones I don't need to have readily available.
It was frustrating, though, when I couldn't find the books I wanted because they were turned around backward.
