Oooh, I like your shelving technigues. I try (or have tried) to do something similar. For example:
Shelves by front door - cookbooks on top, poetry under that, borrowed books under that, with oversized books on the bottom and games in between. The Asterix books are there, along with the humungous and luxurious X-Men illustrated history that DK books put out, and the gorgeous book about Batman.
Beside the kitchen door: on top, Esperanto and Chaucer (because he won't fit with the other poetry books); second and third shelves, history and biography; then graphic novels (mostly Neil Gaiman and Legion of Super-Heroes hardcovers), and on the bottom, binders and books about media (e.g., Horatio Hornblower picture books).
Beside the bathroom door: a shelf of Latin and then general dictionaries (various langauges, A Dictionary of Angels and so on), reference works, computer books, books on autism, philosophy, yoga, Doctor Who videotapes - I don't know how they got there, but they did, and it's easy to remember them there! And on the bottom shelf, library books. (Those which don't fit go on top, on top of the Latin books.)
In the bedroom: fiction paperbacks and misc. fiction and unread things that don't fit elsewhere.
I have a new bookcase in the living room and so far it has 'stuff from the boxes in the locker' which I cleared out just before Christmas - odds and ends, I've no idea what.
