(no subject)

So. Tell me about book sorting! My problem: around 800 books across a very, very wide range of subjects, with two subjects (anthropology and science fiction (top level genre)) dominating. How finely grained a sort do you find useful? Are thematic sorts useful? (For example, I have a collection of books to do with London, and another to do with Cambridgeshire.) I tried a simplified Dewey system but Dewey totally breaks down with fiction, and is past the point of usefulness for social sciences.

Oh yes, I'm not looking for a prescription - just suggestions! Currently, it's not organized to my satisfaction at all, and I'm hoping to come up with a plan before shuffling them around.
