I know when I go to someone's house, one of the first things I do is look at the bookshelves. It would definitely help if you've read most of them. I'm terrible at organizing things so I'm not much help but I'm sure whatever you come up with will be great. I definitely like the idea of putting mostly books you’ve read in the living room.

I love hearing how everybody organizes their books. If only I had a room dedicated as a library with floor to ceiling bookshelves, a comfy chair, snacks nearby, and a fireplace. Sigh . . . I can dream, can't I? Even more great ideas! I love hearing how everybody organizes their books.

It happens that the ones which are most visible are my library books and my cookbooks. Not sure what that says about me....

The "unread" ones are sort of alpha, but one of my bookshelves has shallow shelves, so my hardbacks are all together. And then there are the boxes that I have stacked next to the bookshelves full of books. And the stacks on my desk and the double stacks on the actual shelves. Sheesh--I guess I have MAJOR envy of your beautiful shelves right now. :P LOL–only a conversation book nerds could have, huh? :D Right now I have my books more or less organized by “read” and “unread.” The “unread” ones are sort of alpha, but one of my bookshelves has shallow shelves, so my hardbacks are all together.

Right now they're in four groups- nonfiction organized by subject, fiction by author, art books & coffe-table sized books (randomly) and a shelf of children's novels, which my daughter is allowed to paw through. The shelves in my bedroom are full of still-unread books, which is overflowing onto the floor! I think a lot about how to organize my books,too.

Let me just begin by saying how jealous I am of your incredible bookshelves! My books currently fill every available spare nook and cranny of my house, seeing as how I have no room for bookshelves! As far as the organization goes, I would say put the books out front that you feel most comfortable with people picking up, turning over, and speculating on. Books you can recommend positively, books with pretty covers (superficial, I admit, but still a factor!) and books you've read more than once could all make the list. Good luck! Wow!

I once tried to arrange them by Library of Congress number, but it got too difficult to keep up with. I have most of my books in the living room, arranged by subject matter and then size.
