I find genre tagging useful - in moderation. In my own calibre collection, I'll tag all fiction as "fiction", then tag with one or more of: Modern Lit (post 1945), Classic Lit (pre-1945), Thriller, Mystery, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Western, Young Adult, Juvenile, Horror. I might also add a country or region if it's not from UK/USA/Canada/Australia, such as "Scandinavia". I have no desire, personally, to further divide into subgenres, it would be too time consuming, plus I like to cast a wide net when looking for a certain type of book. Nonfiction, similar procedure.
