I tried this.
It started with Tao Lin - Shoplifting from American apperal and then I realised the rest of my books are about middle class/rich yuppies.

So yeah. I need more books about autistic college majors living in poverty.

My bookshelf in kind of full, so the books are just arranged in a way that allows them to fit. Everything is faced spine out anyway so I don't really need to order them.

By size. Big books on one side, small pocket books on the other. That's about it.

>> No.2352849

I don't have any bookshelves, so I just stack them by size because they are more aesthetically pleasing that way.

>> No.2352859

Big books on the bottom, smaller books on the top.

I used to keep all my heavy tomes and Absolute Sandmans on the top shelf, but then it got top heavy and tragedy struck. It was sitting across the hall from a wardrobe with a floor-to-ceiling mirror... Poor, poor Benji. We just couldn't stop the bleeding.
