How do you organize your books? By genre, by last name, by title, by publication date?
By category and projects -- then within fiction, by century.
So: cookbooks, picture books, reference books, parenting, travel, grad school, amusement parks, social criticism, physical culture , children's literature and history, fairy tale collections.
Then Adult fiction by 18th cent, 19th, 20th/contemporary. Teen is a separate section.

Do you have a shelf reserved for your favorite books and/or authors?
No, they're just chunked in. But I have two separate shelves for books I have not read yet.

What is the first title and author on your bookshelf?
That assumes I have one bookshelf rather than (quick count) nine.
First one on the first I cast my eye on: The Pecking Order, by Dalton Conley.

What is the last title and author on your bookshelf?
Again, hello? There are so many shelves! But on the same one I looked at before: Designing Disney's Theme Parks.

What genre dominates your collection?
General Fiction -- 19th century and contemporary. (I pretty much skip the mid-twentieth century)

Which author is the most represented? (You own the most number of books by . . . )
Charles Dickens.

You own all of the books written by . . .
Jane Austen. And no one else! I was quite surprised to realize this. There are authors I have read to completion or near-completion (Iris Murdoch for example) but I give their books away when I find a friend who needs to read them.

You own the entire series of . . .
I don't! I'm not a series gal, I guess, at least not to the extent of completion. However, here are some series on my shelves in partial form: Piers Anthony's Xanth; Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries; P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves & Wooster; Ian Fleming's James Bond.
