    That’s just a “more steps” version of my method which is to jam it randomly onto the closest shelf wherever it fits.

      I enjoy the Algorithms to Live By strategy of putting the most recently read book “first”. So the left-most book on the shelf is the last book I read

      This is my method as well. A few weeks ago I took out a book from a shelf because and then couldn’t put it back even though it was on that shelf a few minutes ago.
