Book Obsession

I think I have a problem.
I love to buy books.
Probably more than I love to actually read them.
It's a very expensive problem.
Yesterday I actually went into the Strand to take a close look at all the offerings. I've been inside before, but briefly and I didn't get to explore as much as I'd like. Now? I'm obsessed. Previously my favorite bookstore had been Book-Off. A worthy opponent to Strand, but Book-Off is strictly used books. While Strand actually has low-priced new books. Yesterday I was excited to find After the Quake for $5.95 and When We Were Orphans also for $5.95. I'm tempted to go back and also get Remains of the Day since it was only $4.95.
Anyway, back to my book obsession. I've run out of room in my bookshelves to hold the books, so I need to find better solutions. Any ideas on how I should store my books? I'm thinking of installing some bookshelves all over the apartment. Above my entryway from kitchen to living room and maybe above my window in my bedroom.
If you have any book suggestions, please do let me know. I really want to read more and I'd like some good suggestions.
