By the same token, many people only want to read science fiction or fantasies and might just group the rest of stuff as general fiction whereas I break out many detailed categories.
My "genre" list is very much this way. I try to have some non-SF/F groups beyond just "general" but it is very much skewed towards SFF. I have setup my tracking sheet so that I can have as many as I want for any particular book. If I had to choose only one it would be awful!

Spoiler:

I choose from 54 different "genres" and have 166 different combinations of those genres across ~800 books. And almost 500 of those books are from various series, and I expect anything from the same series to be essentially the same combined genre. Rarely do series change genres after the first one. Hmmm. I should look at that.
