A bookcase + trinkets, wall hangings, furniture pieces are all great identity descriptors - I've been thinking about this while I re-decorate my new home. I could see your supposed identity-less bookcase to one day add value and wealth to your space, even if now it seems to just stroke an ego. For example, in my home, we have a stack of books that acts more as a side table than a legible collection, while some other books are paper weights for drying ferns and flowers.
