Yes, when I first 'cleaned' my Calibre library I went by author and just did them in bundles, made it much easier even though it took days. I did this about a year ago and am so relieved I did it then. On purchases now I automatically add them, tag and sort them each time so I won't have to go through that again!
libraryaddict, I just can't bring myself to delete any though, I figure they take up little room on my computer, but back when I did my major Calibre overhaul I did tag each according to reading-priority.

Like everyone else I'm getting overwhelmed by the sheer number of books I own and may never read. The idea of them just sitting there is bugging the heck out of me
Ah, I feel your pain, the sheer number of TBR is both a blessing and a curse. Which has led to my being so increasingly picky on my purchases each week. [Even though you probably can't tell by my Sunday confessions, there's TONS I bypass each day]

My plan is to bypass paid books, non-fiction books and series books at first, and I'll get back to them when I sort out the others.
We all find our own ways to organize our libraries, and as much work as it is, it's such a great feeling when it's done. Then we have to make time to actually read them all!
