Here is what I have to this point:

Fiction - only to be used when nothing better fits.
Action
Graphic
Mystery
Romance
SF&F
Short Fiction
Young Adult

Nonfiction - only to be used when nothing better fits.
Biography
History
Philosophy
Reference
Spiritual

Poetry - for all poetry - tags used to determine type

I am not sure we need young adult but it is ok I guess.

What I did was group the headings but is that what everybody wants? In the interest of reusing the various prefixes does it make sense to restrict them the way I grouped them?
Could there be the same prefix in both fiction and nonfiction with the word fiction or nonfiction showing up in the tags?

For example: Graphics means Manga, comic books, etc. but could it also be used for a coffee table book on travel or art.

Could biography be used for legends? Could History be used for historical fiction? Could action be used for real life adventure stories?

Where does humor go?
