I need to reorganize my fiction bookshelves. What system has worked best for you? I'm leaning towards going by author, though that leaves the question of how to treat anthologies. Maybe anthologies could be first, or shelved by the editor's name. Alphabetical by title (preceded by numbers) might work just as well as by author.

I had been doing them by height size, except for the graphic novels, which tend not to match any standard size.

These particular bookshelves are all fiction (except for graphic nonfiction) so organizing by subject seems unwieldy.

@Likewise @kimlockhartga @MissConstrue @BackFromTheDud @bookstodon I've always suspected that anyone who organises bookshelves by colour is not a reader. I have no data or proof, just a baseless, gut feeling.

Can you name a film that was adapted not from a novel, but from a short story?
Here's one:

The Illusionist (2006)

@franciscawrites @bookstodon 'Korea' is adapted from John McGahern's short (24 pages...) story. It's pretty powerful, both short story and movie...
