I call this the eclectic shelf. This sets it apart from the random shelf, the jumbled shelf, please clean me shelf, and books that can't fit standing normally shelf.
The most read book is the AMOS Pro user manual. The least read books are the thick ones that aren't science fiction--these just look good on the shelf if someone sees them.
I wish I had copies of all all the Hal Clement and Simak stuff I read in the library as a wee lad.

@androidarts@mastodon.gamedev.place Eugen Semitjov! They had his book Rymdtecknaren at my primary school library, and I kept checking it out over and over. Later realized my father had subscribed to the magazine that Semitjov wrote and illustrated for (Teknikens Värld) around the time of the space race, and got him the book, then back on my shelf after he passed. Great stuff!
