chris martenscontroversial question time
how do you organize books on your home bookshelf?
stolee@chrisamaphone first separate fiction and nonfiction.
Fiction is sorted by author and then publication order.
Nonfiction by topic, and rarely any order makes sense within a topic.
@stolee publication order!
@stolee i guess for within an author that makes sense. at first i was imagining publication order being a more significant lexeme, which would be a bold move
@stolee (and by “more significant lexeme” i mean like, an index key further up the organizational hierarchy)
@chrisamaphone I guess I should specify that I’ll use publication order within a series if an author writes multiple series interleaved (I don’t sepearare mistborn, skyward, or stormlight books in my Sanderson section). But generally oldest to newest.
