Currently, the only organization in my library is separation into piles of books that I mean to read and piles of books that I have already read. Some of the piles are on shelves.
It's not a good system, but it suffices. Sort of.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The books I've got on stack on the floor or tables are only there because I haven't had time to rearrange my shelves to put them into place. If they're on the shelves, they must be in the proper order, damnit!!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My books are arranged exclusively by height.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Dang, Scola, that is a thing of beauty!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Scola, that is awesome.
My books are separated into: plays, anthologies of plays, books about theater, screenplays, books about movies, fiction (with a subdivide of cyberpunk/Adams/Gaiman/Pratchett), humor, spirituality (those are shelved next to each other), comics, history/sociology/biography, art/design.

You don't have Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour ? Also, that is totally cool.
My books are not very well organized. My comics are organized by title.

Art Crawl!!!
My books, cds, etc are currently in no order. It's sad. I used to have them alphabetized in each shelf and had kind of a rough sort of which book went in which shelf - generally by size. I have a couple of shelves that can only work with mass market paperbacks and some books that are tall enough, etc that they can only nr placed on particular shelves. But, currently, it's complete book anarchy.

What I like to do is fiction by author and non-fiction by broad topic (I like to have religion and physics close together, for example), but I have been buying books a lot more rapidly than I've been organizing them and the system has totally broken down. So, piles.
