I picked up some new books today, and it made me realize just how badly my library needs to be organized. I usually group my books together by genre, and then by the author's surname, taking care to make sure that series are organized in accordance with release order, but I wanted to know how other people organized their collection.

I organize them by what looks aesthetically pleasing. Which is inherently subjective, thus I chose I don't organize, because I don't, really.

Right now I have three stacks of books, with two of the stacks having already been completely read, and half the books in the third stack being read. Within the stacks, they're just organized by size.

I go by where they physically fit, shoving randomly between the books already on my bookcase.

The answer, often, is that they don't fit anywhere because I own far too many books.  Then it goes into one of my special piles of books, organized by "this is where I was standing when I decided to put a book on top of a pile."
