classifying is hard

I decided to rearrange my books by broad subject rather than by author. So far I have:

  • biology, medicine, psychology
  • computing
  • mathematics, physics, chemistry
  • language
  • arts
  • those included in this classification
  • fiction
  • history, geography, ecology, heraldry

Does religion belong with psychology or with history? Does game theory belong with mathematics, psychology or economics? Do The Ancient Engineers, Engines of Creation and The Klutz Book of Knots go together?

    I could get wacky and arrange them by ISBN.

    I put religion with history, game theory with economics, technologies with arts. Futurism will get its own section, but it’s small.

    My left wrist has been sore for two weeks from slinging the heavy ones. Most of the books are back on the shelves but the fiction is still heaped in the livingroom.
