(narenek made me come and answer this because it made him laugh to think about my answers.)
Strictly speaking, not all the books in my library are catalogued, but it's not because I'm too lazy to maintain it, it's because they're in boxes I can't physically get to. Radio buttons make this poll difficult - the books that are shelved are on a combination of bookcases and shelves, but there is also a small collection of cardboard boxes. I have the majority organised but it's a system that relies on my brain rather than external observation (e.g. hardback Pratchetts had a shelf to themselves in the hallway (see icon) but paperback Pratchetts lived upstairs with the paperback and hardback Tom Holts; this mystified visitors for some reason). Since I'm in the process of moving my entire library the organization has collapsed a little but I still know where to find everything, more or less.
