i read way too much to organize a bookshelf in any fashion. i actually quite like having a bit of hodgepodge variety. one of my friends bought pretty much every single book he was required to read for a 3-year undergraduate degree in Classics in the black-spine penguin classic variety, then proudly arranged them on his shelf as this impressive three-tier uniform collection. i thought it looked shite. at the end of the day - who cares? if you want to impress somebody, you need to have a room-sized library fulla books, not some well-ordered shelf of curiosities.
I kind of like the hodgepodge too. It's more....personal (for lack of a better word) than a well-organized, sterile looking shelf of neatly arranged titles, sorted by genre/author/spine color
