I had had my library organized by the Library of Congress system, which unlike Dewey does not exempt works of fiction. It was gradually degrading over the years as I neglected to catalog new acquisitions. Then we moved, and just shoved the books onto shelves as we took them out of the boxes, the state of disarray in which they remain.

Sweet, sweet entropy.

I thought most fiction was shelved in the 800s in Dewey?

Where I've seen, fiction is filed under F and then author's last name. There is some fiction among the numbered areas, but it's usually things like poetry, folk tales, fairy tales, religion stuff, etc.

Was going to say LOC system, because it rocks.

But...since this is a person's library in their house, I'm not sure that's necessarily a good idea unless all books are entered into a database and visitors can search it. Heh.
