I use calibre and am thinking of exporting my library into 8 parts. but I am at a loss as to how I could group them.

I won't be including romance or erotica type books, nor magazines or periodicals, just books for fun and reference.

I will include science fiction, science fact, fantasy, alternate history, childrens fiction (too many great books in that to ignore even as an adult), modern fiction, classics, textbooks and other educational/informational/reference texts, biblical, etc...
I now use calibre companion so folders are not required but I have used hierarchical genres for my books in calibre for a long time. So I get a lot more options than eight. Like Scifi will be further divided into Mystery|Soap Opera etc or Fantasy into Urban|Romance|Epic etc. As it is my library I just nuke all the genre tags that come with the books and set them with what I feel a book or series belongs to what genre.
