Like it fucking matters you autist.

>>9069982
Organise them by colour and start your own Booktube channel. Make sure to buy some white christmas light.
Oh, and go back to r/books, thank you.

>>9069982
Just put the book on the shelf until you want to read it again.

Jesus. Shouldn't you be expressionlessly studying your dying grandma or something?

>>9069982
Order all the books you want in the same format from a bookbindery. Alternatively stop having shit taste and being autistic.

Do you all shit on the floor? Are your rooms filled with piss bottles and littered with food wrappers, plates and dishes you haven't bothered to put away in months? Fucking disgusting degenerates.

the only way to organize books is roughly by topic (for example, fiction, poetry, mathematics, architecture, whatever the fuck you're reading) ans inside the topic, alphabetically. the goal is to be able to find whatever you are looking for as fast as possible

don't even get me started on trying to organize by subject material

>formal sciences, easy
>physical sciences, peasy,
>cognitive sciences, eh it'll work if you take the parts of biology (physical sciences), psychology (minus social psychology), and computer science (AI, algorithms, circuits, machine learning, neural nets, etc.) that are relevant.
>social sciences & humanities, wtf everything is studied in a billion different ways, only arts and literature seem to be solely humanities
>don't even bother trying to classify history and philosophy anywhere, since they all comment on every subject matter possible

>autistic screeching
explain yourself, fag

I organize my books by size. For me, sorting books by author name is to help you easily find what you are looking for. I only have 1 big shelf, therefore I don't feel the need to do so. If I ever get more shelves or keep books in more than 1 place I will probably sort it though

>>9070046
>I organize my books by size
disgusting

>>9070054
how should I organize it?

>>9070078
not by size.
really, there's no point. unless you have early onset dementia, it's not like you'll forget where they are. group em by genre.

>>9070078
Fiction - alphabetically or chronologically.
Non-fiction - first thematically then alphabetically.

>>9069982
That is why you stick to one and only one publisher dipshit

>Not ranking them by cover colour
Jesus guys.

>>9070033
Literally this.

i doubt you all have bookshelves large enough that you would need more than a minute to find a specific book, organized or no

>>9070097
>>9070091
>really, there's no point
there is really no point really in any kind of sorting in MY SITUATION either. I do not have 10 shelves full of books, I only have 1 straight shelf (like pic related) with books so if I need 1 book I look at 1 direction in my room and I can see all of them, so whats the point? being a pretentious faggot? as I said, if I had few big ass shelves full of books or had books in different locations, yes, I would definitely sort them but not in my situation

i have multiple huge ass shelves in different locations. it's not an actual library- other people don't need to be able to find books. you'll be able to just remember. as you'll see the shelves everyday

>>9070187
well, i like to have a system in my stuff and being orderly. i have one big bookshelf and i sort by category and alphabet. i just like to know that everything has it's place. might be autism but idgaf

>>9070186
XD thats totally my shelf

>>9070199
that's fine, be as autistic as you want
as long as it's not by size

>>9070220
or else what fag?

>>9070230
i'll stop loving you for who you are.
slowly, i'll come to resent you.

>>9070220
why is "by size or color" so bad? it looks neat

how is it worse than not having a system at all?

>>9070033
this should be obvious. anyone who doesn't do this intuitively I would regard with suspicion

>>9070243
i don't care about color, just size.
size is just ugly. an unequal incline is gross

>>9070264
what if it is equal? (because you have so god damn many books...)

>>9070264
READABLE
AT
EVERY
SIZE

Get a load of this petit-bourgeois.

>>9070268
>what if it is equal?
mmmmm. it would still be weird. i'm not sure how to explain it, but it's unbalanced, one side would be way heavier. but not in an aesthetic way. the bookshelf would have to have a weird design, to balance it out. or like a 100ft log. the incline so gradual that you barely notice. make it an art installation.

t. studied design

>>9070309
just organise them in the shape of a sine wave

>>9070323
yes, repeating patterns are fine.
impressive even.

>>9070309
>studied design

are you a bottom or a power bottom? i'm a power top

>>9070024
There's a huge gap between not perfectly organized and shitting on the floor.
