How is your preferred method by genre, but you hate genre shit? Do you mean novel, poetry, short story collections, etc.?

I have mine by country of author origin and time period within that.

>>8561098
>>8561106
>not size

just...reorganize them...not that hard dude

>>8561106
Yes. Fiction, poetry, plays, anthologies, etc.

Then by period (19th Century Russia, for example)

Kill her; dump her books.

>>8561115
Do you have any before pics? or just pics now?

Fucking women, man. Show her who is the boss and get her back in the kitchen. Women should be seen not heard, bro

>>8561098
>Worst part is I know she's gonna keep the books if we break up.
And how is she gonna stop you from taking your own property with you?

>>8561118
plebboy he has a woman, he doesn't need your lowgrade memes in his bookshelf either.

>>8561122
She recognised he doesn't have the autism required for him to kill her over messy up a perfectly fine collection and filing system. Genre fiction teaches you to only know your audience.

>>8561098
>tfw make husband keep all his genre fiction and comics in his "man cave"

Sorry for your loss, OP.

Fiction: county of orgin --> author by publication date of first book --> publication/writing order

Non-fiction: topic --> county of orgin --> author by date of publication of first book --> publication/writing order

Poetry: country of orgin --> etc (same as others)

>>8561140
>she(?) lets her husband have a man cave

I mean, it keeps the garbage out of the rest of the house. I have a study/home office.

At least your gf reads.

My gf has ADHD, can't even concentrate on kids' books. It bothers me but I'd feel like an asshole if I broke up with her for it.

>>8561151
It also keeps it out of the garbage can.

>>8561154
read books to her :3

>>8561154
tell her to get a script

>>8561098

lol your books just got cucked

>>8561158
imo you shouldn't marry someone you hate enough to throw their things out. I just think he's got tacky taste.

American literature, English literature, French literature, German literature, Russian literature.

Spanish literature, Latin American literature.

History of Argentina, latin America, Spain and World history.

Religion, philosophy and political essays.

>>8561181
Good point. Why are you married to a child in the first place? You pedo or something?

>>8561184
There's a lot more to a person than their taste in books, anon. Things like kindness, loyalty and potential for being a good father are more important to me.

>>8561098
>most of her books are plebshit genrefic
So how is
>donates duplicates
a big problem? Your collection's impeccably patrician, right?

>>8561163
If she can't read kids' books scripts are going to be a nightmare.

>>8561190
>There's a lot more to a person than their taste in books, anon.
Of course, but being a child usually indicates something about those thing.
>kindness, loyalty and potential for being a good father
Aren't those more like the bare minimum?

>>8561144
how do you order the countries?

>>8561098
>donates duplicates
she did you a favor anon. I often decide what books to get rid of to make space on my shelf by looking at someone plebby's bookshelf and getting rid of everything we both have

>>8561204
You'd think they would be, but it's rare to find all three.

>>8561206
I start at the bottom of Africa, go up through the Middle East over to the Far East, then through Russia into Scandinavia and Europe, then over to Canada, USA, and down through Latin/South America.

>>8561098

>Worst part is I know she's gonna keep the books if we break up.

Wew lad.

>>8561098

>tons of non-fiction about Africa

Bruh...
She wants to get blacked.

epic reddit

>>8561206
Yeah I forgot about that. I order them by language then area (so England, America, Ireland, Canada are all in a "section" by each other) counties like Hungary which I think of as between Germany and Russia are placed between the German and Russian sections.
Nabokov straddles Russian and American.
At this point it's a bit subjective.

>>8561227

That's the gods honest truth anon.
Why else would some basic white girl have an interest in that shithole

>>8561231
OP never said she was white.

>>8561232

Fair enough.
But most women I know who have some interest in the dark continent only do so because they have a thing for Mandingo warriors.

>>8561243
I can assure you that you don't know women around you that well at all, and mostly you're projecting your insecurities on other people. :)

>>8561243
how awful must to have a talk with you in real life

>>8561252

Homie, I only say this because these women have told me that jacked black men are their type.
There's no projection, just what shameless broads have admitted to me.

Kek
Why would you do that?

>>8561289
It makes it easier to find books you want to find. It doesn't really make sense until you have at least a few hundred books though.

why the fuck did I type all of this

>>8561328
You're extrapolating strangely. I didn't say I hate people enough to throw their things away. I said that people shouldn't marry those they feel that way about.

>>8561387

Why would you allow this shit? And WTF do you mean "she's gonna keep the books if we break up"?? I'd see my loved ones all in Hell before they took my books.
Separate the books, sort yours as you want, and be a man. I was married and co-habitating for seven years before we bought a house and finally combined book collections, and they'd get un-combined if we ever separated, believe me. Exes can give you back your books, or understand that you'll be their worst nightmare for the rest of their miserable lives.

Why not declutter?

only thing you should be combining is your genitals lmao

Guy in the middle is -aggressively- bantering. Guy looking at us has just had the horrifying realisation that he's just a bit too old for this level of banter, and beneath their banter his friends know it too.

I don't organise them

I stuff them on the shelf in any order

some of them are stacked sideways or on top of other rows
