Quiet on the bookshelf!

A small anecdote from the life of a highly sensitive person:

I sort books according to the colour of their spines and within these colour groups according to their size wherever possible. Otherwise they are simply "too loud" on the shelf.

"You must have a good memory of what your books look like when you are looking for them!" says Anne amazed. She sorts her books by topic. "Yes I do," I reply. Books are stored in my head visually according to their covers.

This reminds me of one rainy holiday where we began to do a puzzle to pass the time. Before long, the many pieces were too loud for me and we had to stop.

I call this visual volume.
