This is what's been on my desk
The absolute state of my office at the moment: you’d have to see it to believe. There are books everywhere. Every shelf is filled. No, double-filled: books shelved spine up, books piled horizontally in front of them. Every flat surface is covered: the side tables, the coffee table. The printer table. The mantlepiece. Under the tables. Behind the sofa. Next to the sofa, stacks piled as high as they will go without toppling. (They sometimes topple.) And beside my desk, four self-supporting piles, stepped like some pre Columbian South American sacrificial pyramid. It’s out of control.
