If your books are piled up all over the place or you find yourself always digging through piles looking for that novel you’ve been meaning to read, it may be time to reorganize.
Organize your books by genre (体裁)
Organize your books by the author’s last name
Sorting by the author’s last name is a classic way to organize. If you have an especially large collection, sorting by author will make it a lot easier to locate a given book when you want it.
For a narrower collection, arranging the books by subject makes sense. If you’re a huge poetry buff, you could separate your Romantic collections, postmodern books, and objectivity poetry. If you’re super into historical nonfiction, give World War I its own shelf, the Civil Rights Movement another shelf, and books about the United Nations in another area.
Organize your books by how much you like them
Put your favorites up top and your least favorites at the bottom. This is going to be totally subjective, but it may be fun to spend an evening taking the books down and assessing how you feel about it.
