- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Organizing books by color with no regard for book series is insanity.
It makes perfect sense to people who don't need to find a book because they don't actually read.
As I said: insanity
Or people who know what colour their books (so can find them when they need) are and also want their bookshelf to look nice
I don't understand how sorting just by color alone would look nicer than putting the books in order where the size of the books, color coordination and things like color of the title font are considered as well
It's personal preference, so it's entirely arbitrary, right?
Yes
Found the insane person.
Opinion:
I think bookshelves look better when they're full of books that are clearly being used, rather than a sterile layout that implies those books are nothing more than decor.
My ex-partner had her bookshelf sorted with "perfect disorder". No two tall books touching, no two red books touching. As chaotic as a bookshelf could possibly be, with a pointed disregard for series or even genres. 100% vibes Based disorganization.
I hated that fucking shelf. I swear it nearly gave me an aneurism trying to find anything on it.
I swear that's a hard math tesselation problem
I'd guess, it's a variation of this problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_color_theorem
At least it had

It's extraordinarily un-OCD. I think that's the point here. People seem to have forgotten what the D stands for in OCD.
Not being a total slob doesn't mean you have a disorder.
