organizing your home library by category and subject matter

not just putting the books that will most impress your pleb guests at eye level

Lol the idea of putting out books to impress people is ridiculous. The only people that would fall for that are the kind you'd never want to impress much less have in your home anyway.

I have my moms collection of Eastern Press leather bound books on display. It's all the "classics" - over 300 books.

But I put them on display because they look fancy, not because of their content. Leather bound books look nice, so sue me. All my "actual" books are shitty paperbacks stored in a pile in the spare room. No one gives a shit that I read Catch-22 or Tolkein's lost tales.

That's a little different than getting books to impress people and pretending to have read them.

I agree but that's part of the appeal. Using a bookshelf at all means you're choosing to display them. You might as well do it in a way where you get to learn who the plebs are based on what they have to say.
