Chronological-ish. Greek, then Rome, then Middle Ages, which dissolves into authors by region as well,.

i have a couple of bookcases to contain the books i read, and i can't say there is a very rigorous order. some are organized by size, to save space, some other shelves are ordered thematically.

the ones i hadn't read yet, the vast majority are divided in other bookcases or various pieces of furniture.

i find it both fun and unnerving browsing them trying to decide what to read next.

I like this idea, thanks.

Checked but not helpful in this case.

This is kind of my current situation except I ran out of shelves. I didn't have many to begin with though.

yeah, i know, in fact now i make do with those kind of plastic boxes with wheels underneath and i slide them from under my bed when i want to read one of the books they contain.

doing my weekly cleaning is becoming quite a problem.

Give up and replace all low quality editions with electronic copies.

I sort my books by how many times I've read them. Never-read goes on the bottom shelf, and the top shelf is reserved for books I come back to over and over again. They are then organized on the shelf in alphabetical order. I also have fiction and non-fiction on different bookcases.

I get rid of a book once it dawns on me that I'll never read it again. Sad!
