I love organizing my books! I group mine based on the period of my life in which I read each book. They do tend to fall naturally into different genres--for instance, I read a lot of poetry in my late teens and was into the McSweeney's scene in my early twenties. There is something intensely personal about a bookcase for me, before I lived in a studio I always kept it in my bedroom.
