I would not mind that, being able to grab a stack that is the first page of every book in the collection and study them would be interesting. For fiction I have a shelf for unread, a shelf for read and various stacks of reading soon/recent arrivals and things yet to be shelved, that is about as far as I go for organizing books, I like that the lack of order forces me to actually browse my selves instead of just grabbing what I want. I group nonfiction by topic.
I wrote a script that indexes the pauses in my audio books so I can listen to random sentences or paragraphs, I like to let it play random bits from the entire collection as I go about my day. It is kind of amazing how consistent people are with their various pauses between the different structures.
Not ALL the way! I can read people's eyes and I have some capacity to appreciate art and fiction, and enjoy them in my own way. But yes, I know what you mean.
actually it's a collection of magnetic toys which form the platonic solids, and a souvenier glass containing several dozen bookmarks from various shops. Also an empty, old school glass coke bottle. It's autistic but not that cringe in the grand scheme of things. In my defense, I have nary a funko to my name and don't care about western comics.
I like to keep the shelf space itself clear of that sort of thing, but I've allowed myself the tops of shelves/fridge to put that sort of thing. The frontal shelf space is good to lay down in-progress stuff or stuff that I'm actively working with and changing out with other things.
My setup is very logical. Start by respecting practical physical constraints, and put the heavy books along the bottom. Hence, art and math/science textbooks go on lower shelves. Next, try to group like items together as much as possible, so philosophy goes next to the squishy religion and lit crit/theory stuff, and general math/science are (mostly) together. Third, keep the stuff you care about the most in the most accessible spot (main wall left), and keep the also-ran stuff along the other two-three shelves. I haven't touched any of it in years but I keep all my old weeaboo stuff on general principles.
My main home library: >Fiction (Alpha by Author) >Plays/Drama (Alpha by Author) >Poetry (Alpha by Author) >Philosophy (Alpha by Author) >General Non-Fiction (Alpha by Author) >Science/Technology (Alpha by Author) >Politics (Alpha by Author) >Biography (Alpha by Subject) >History (Chronological by Subject)
Then antiquarian/rare books, broken out into the following sections: >Children's >Adventure >Literature >Travel >Humor >Fiction >Poetry >Miscellaneous Other
Sort my bookcase autistically by what stage of life I was in when I read them, so if I have a question from any of them, I can ask myself when I was thinking about it and go right to the shelf for that era.
I'm trying to keep my art books, non-fiction, and fiction in their own spaces but that's where the sorting kinda stops.
Your books look very cozy all tucked up together on the shelves, I like it.

You only ever study page one so it would be good for you, yep.
By author
At the moment they're totally random but when I get around to it I'm going to group by genre and sort each group by author.
current setup
holy autismeroli

What are reddit doo-dads? Does "air" stand for "nothing" or do you have it stored in some special way?
It means his funko pop collection and marvel toys

Why?
In case he wants to take a bite out of a book
Studio apartment. No place else to go.

This is bullshit but I believe it.
I don't get it. Aren't the pages in books already sorted by number?
Tearing apart the books so first you have every page 1 from all of the books then the page 2s, etc. It is poorly worded.
I sort using library of congress classification, leaving about 6 inches space empty at the end of each shelf for any shifting / new books to be added.
I used chat GPT to sort the books by LCC now I have that in a gsheet
Completed zone and unfinished zone. No order beyond that.
>not also sorting by theme
>national romance
>alien romance
>history
>philosophy
>science fiction
>books help me dominate to world
>law
I sort by decade
>book people
this implies people actually buy books just for decoration and never read them
wtf IQfybros i thought it was just a joke
I usually sort them by genre, then alphabetically.
If I have a lot of books by one author they'll all be together, alphabetically.
My main home library:
>Fiction (Alpha by Author)
>Plays/Drama (Alpha by Author)
>Poetry (Alpha by Author)
>Philosophy (Alpha by Author)
>General Non-Fiction (Alpha by Author)
>Science/Technology (Alpha by Author)
>Politics (Alpha by Author)
>Biography (Alpha by Subject)
>History (Chronological by Subject)
Then antiquarian/rare books, broken out into the following sections:
>Children's
>Adventure
>Literature
>Travel
>Humor
>Fiction
>Poetry
>Miscellaneous Other
