Whatever makes sense to you is all that matters, dude. It's your bookshelf and it's there for your own reading, not to impress others with how accurately it is organised per the Dewey Decimal System.
Anyway, if someone gives you the side-eye over it you can always invoke the death of the author in your defense.
(You know, I got into it with some lib on social media a while back, I can't remember over what exactly, but I provided info or a definition that was on a concrete subject and, I kid you not, the other person erm, ackshually-ed me and played that very card. I was like bruh, are you kidding me?? You can't just say that the speed of light is 100km an hour and when you get called out for being completely wrong to turn around and claim that authorial intent is unimportant and that your personal interpretation takes precedence because of the death of the author - that's not how it works outside of fiction and it's not some get-out-of-jail free card where you can just make up anything you want.
I swear to Marx, so many of these people online just seem to memorise a random assortment of the names of concepts and fallacies, then they haphazardly deploy them to dazzle others in order to "win" a discussion.)
Oh, lol, no worries. It's more to satisfy my own anal organization. I've got limited space so any time I add a book I've gotta rethink how they should be grouped. DoE just happens to be one of the few I know very little about, but mythology and enlightenment was my wheelhouse for a while so I tend to place it within that context. Thanks for the insight!
