"Organizing your bookshelf by color is a good thing. Here's why..."

>>15883420
someone said that it was some kind of rebelion against the patriarchal structure of order. ordering by color would be a proper way of distributing books by something else than inherited ways of order. it was pretty dumb.

Women are by their nature autistic.

>>15883420
That's retarded, how the fuck do you find anything? Bitch doesn't read, this was just an art project.

>>15883477
is there any other way to be autistic?

>>15883432
'nesting instinct'
the female tries to prepare her nest endlessly for a brood that never appears, she becomes increasingly distressed, confused, and hostile
sublimates broken emotions and impulses into sterile narcissistic pursuits fed to her by reinforcing system

im just kidding lol you fucking incels, the colours look nice together

no but really women are naturally insane and becoming more insane all the time

and you are incels and the colours look nice

the colours are incels and she is nesting them for the revolution of the bookshelf, which expects hands to pick books off it in certain sequences
bookshelf becomes hostile as color coordination disrupts expectations
bookshelf attacks chairs and couch for aesthetic and purposeful privilege
chairs do poorly in school, take up lint habit

I thought men were autistic and that was the basis for our superiority

>>15883420
attention on social media or trying to give off a certain "intelligent and creative" vibe to co-workers/friends/sexual partners they bring home

And at that point it's just a fashion decoration and they've never read 99% of the shit on the shelf.

Also, due to the nature of why women due this, which is purely aesthetic, this thread is not /lit/

>>15883420
same reason why they're into 'organizing' as a hobby, or 'journaling'. if you ever look at their journals they show off on youtube, it's just more obsessive color coding, not thoughts about their day or deliberate introspection about something. women are a bunch of faggot children.

>>15883501
>the colours are incels

How does /lit/ organize their books? I do it by author first (last name) and then within each author I put them in alphabetical order, though I can imagine someone might put them in chronological order within authors.

>>15883525
We have better autism, obviously.

>>15883575
My collection isn't so big that I need to worry about alphabetizing, I just do genre. My history collection has a little extra sorting, and I do that by country.

>>15883575
I organize by the following genres:
Computers
Science and Mathematics
History
Literature
Fantasy

>>15883617

>>15883575
Genre, and chronologically within that genre. Helpful for nonfiction. For fiction, usually by country of origin. Joyce is next to Beckett, Mann is next to Hesse.

>>15883575
atm they're in "face down attack mode" because my bookshelf isn't big enough. The books I've read are on one shelf, and the one's I haven't read are on another. I try categorise by nationality of the author (Russian works in one pile, French in another, etc...) but I don't care too much because I can just grab from the "to read" pile, read it, and put it in the "read (past tense)" pile.

>>15883712
>man hands

Why do women of color code their books?

>>15885900
they think it looks cute

>>15883420
the only acceptable color coding is to have your green Loebs on one side and your red Loebs on the other. She fails, hard

women are vain and like social media credit score points so this is why they do these things. usually they're single and int heir 30s without hope of producing offspring. thats how feminism started for example. trying to justify their nihilistic nauseau and cope

>>15883501
Unironically what are some books with this aesthetic?

>>15883575
I have a big pile in my bedroom that collapses every other day

Having a bookshelf in 2020 is basically a fetish and a decoration. If you have a decoration, why not arrange it according to your liking?

I hold onto my physical media because I know most books (and art generally) by white males will be banned by 2040, woke capitalists will have a monopoly on internet infrastructure, and that digital copies degrade over times.

>>15883501
Actually, the crowbar snaps in two.

>>15887754
it is nice to have all your books gathered together so you can remember them. I often entirely forget about books because Ive read everything on pdf for years

Because they don't read them.

>>15883575
Genre

My top shelf is entirely Greco-Roman literature, second shelf is various history and humanities (Judeo-Christian, Middle Eastern, Asian). Third shelf is modern literautre, humanities, and philosophy. Fourth shelf is non-fiction and textbooks.

>>15883455
Looks like a child's bookcase. Mine was similar when I was a kid/teenager, though not color coded.

You retards bash women so much for only reading fiction and self improover garbage disguised as philosophy that you don't even understand.

>>15886660
Thanks almost Satan. The fake Butterfly's books and shitty decor indicate that she (he) is probably Eastern European/ Croatian, so her (his) real name is probably something retarded like Maja, and I can assure you that she (he) would absolutely insist that it's pronounced "My-ah, not mar-ja".

>>15883575
I keep them separated by genre: poetry, fiction, essays, theatre, others, and then they're just ordered by language.

no idea, it drives me mental. the only true way to organize books is by the author's first name

>>15883420
they don't

>>15883420
>not having books just stack on the floor like colin

>>15891852
I always organized my books by date, and fiction/nonfiction, and language. So i'd have the nonfiction section that was arranged by year published and language, and the fiction section same way.

Now my books are all in a sad collection of bags and strewn on the floor

>>15883501
tears

I have always been taught to organize books by author, and within author chronologically. Very logical and simple system. My shelf starts with Austen, Beckett, Bolano, Brecht, Broch etc and ends with Waltari.

because everything in a young woman's life is an adornment
choice of career, partner, hobbies etc. are mostly just nest-feathering
if a thing doesn't enable social participation, it has no value

Is there something I’m missing, I find the fact that we even have to piss and shit absolutely repulsive. I think every person is disgusting, and when in meet a new person I immediately imagine them taking a huge, smelly shit.

>>15892565
you're going to have a hard time dying.

>>15892565
I have a hard time not looking physically ill or disgusted when looking at strangers. I feel like their filth is going to somehow dig itself into my pores.

>>15892565
Adolf? Is that you?

>>15892579
I can’t wait for natural death to take me away from this shithole life filled with ugly vermin. I believe killing myself would be like giving in to God’s cruel game, that damn tyrant, so I’ll carry on for the rest of my natural life. Knowing my luck, I’ll probably live to be 100.
>>15892592
You joke, but I genuinely believe the more people I know the more spiritually thin I get, like butter scraped over too much bread.

>>15892659
I don't joke. I put on this fake face when in public and it's becoming harder and harder not to break character and sneer in disgust at the sight of the stranger and his ilk. Disgusting, invasive, polluted. They always want something from you.

>>15892696
I fucking hate meeting new people, goddamn vampires, having to say the same damn thing to every person I meet, would rather wake up in the middle of a desert than have to shop at the supermarket. For ten years I’ve taken week-long vacations and travelled to small rural towns, lived in a cheap motel or rented a room for a week, and pretended to be someone else for a few days. It’s the most fun, happiest time of the year, completely alone surrounded by people who dont recognize me enough to want to speak to me, get to live like a stranger in a strange land. Is that weird?

>>15892737
Not weird at all. I used to call myself a people person when I'd introduce myself. Now everything is "don't bother me". I hate how everyone just says the same shit over and over again expecting I hadn't heard it already from a hundred other fucking people. They want some sort of exertion from me. They want my approval or reaction. It's mine, fuck off. They make you hate them slowly over time.

Scattered stacks that are broadly ordered by date of purchase. Or occasionally by 'relevance to a particular project. But I also have a shelf of 'old books' in the corridor that i own purely for nostalgia purposes.

>>15883712
Can you fuck off?

>>15883420
Because they don't actually want to read them, they want people to see that they have them

go get out of here leave GO

basically that, chrono order within author, nowadays theyre in plastic bins though, with a shelf for stuff i im going through in the short future, my house gets a lot of mold so shelves long term arent an option

that's not croatian, looks more like turkish or albanian to me desu

>>15883420
I did this when I had a few books and it looked nice but I couldn't find anything and since my collection got larger I changed it to alphabetical

>>15883420
whats worse is that they must buy books based on the color of the cover's spine

>>15883575
I do it by color like in OP's pick because I find it:

1) aesthetically pleasing to look at;
2) easier to manage when I acquire new books ;and
3) easier to find a book, since my photographic memory is just better than name memory I guess.

I also add some heirloom/pictures that make me happy to decorate the bookshelves. Also, I am a 24 y/o man.
