But while I found them a house in the "non -non -non -fiction of art and literature" section {I personally find that at home the storage system Trivial Pursuit works better than the Dewey}, suddenly I had a small epiphany: all the books we possess , beds and no, are the fullest expression we have available to our personality.

In "The Polysyllabic Spree," Nick Hornby explores the organization of books and the connection they have to our identities. He humorously compares traditional classification systems like Dewey Decimal to personal methods, revealing his preference for a more casual approach akin to Trivial Pursuit. This suggests that the way we categorize our books reflects our individual preferences and creativity.

The author experiences a realization about the significance of books in our lives. He perceives that the collection of books we own, regardless of their genre, serves as a profound representation of our personalities. This idea emphasizes how literature and art can convey who we are and the diverse influences that shape us.
