How do you organise your bookshelf? Camilla Send a noteboard - 24/11/2009 10:57:57 AM
This is important stuff. At least to some of us. I mean me.

My bookshelf is organised not according to genre or the alphabeth or chronology, but according to how it makes sense in my head. Books that feel the same belong together. This is not only based on content, but also on how the book looks. I can have books by one author in several different locations.

Because most of my books are in Norway, and I have limited space for my books here, I find it increasingly difficult to organise my bookshelf in a way that makes me happy. Which means I keep reorganising it.

Oddly, all my school theory books are in alphabetical order according to author.

Am I mad?
