I had them arranged and then gave up and removed the categories.
I was curious what y'all like to read, since I'm an avid reader of books in general.
Will add yours right away tho

Umm... I don't remember the rest of the books I like to read.
I had this problem too
Added your book btw
Yeah, I did like the categories because it was easier to pick out a book from a genre you were into...
now its just a big list.
not so much help and more of a chore to do the research on each one to find out what it is.
i would be down to help sort into categories since it would be a big hassle for just one person.
depending on how many more get posted we could get a few more people to help sort em and divide it up equally and then add all of our small lists w/ genres into one master copy for Nameless to post up

^^ I like this idea.
I can do fantasy easily enough.
To whoever does sci-fi: The Dragonriders Pern is sci-fi, even though it has fantasy elements (the dragons are genetically engineered by space colonists from earth).

well, what I was thinking was taking the existing list and the people that were willing to organize it could just take half of the list. then you find what that books genre is and organize it.
once they both get posted you can edit the first post and combine them into their right list (since im sure both people organizing will have some from fantasy given the amount of fantasy posted)
