Bookshelves do tend to be useful items for the storing and finding of books, and/or the displaying of knickknacks. You do have knickknacks, and I imagine while your display methods for them are a wonderful haphazardness, somethign can be said for a rewarding lineup.
The downside, of ycourse, is you will be loading your bookshelf in an organized fashion, and it simply won't work. You'll have oversized books which will need to go on their sides on a shelf of their own, and break categories; And as you run close to filling a shelf you'll have inner debates over things like "Should The Gallery Of Regrettable Food really go with my cookbooks, or in general non-fiction?"[*1] But that's the price you'll pay for stable vertical storage.
--Chiaroscuro [*1] This is a non-trivial decision for me, as the cookbook group is stored on my dresser due to an overfull bookshelf.
