Someone classified one of the classics I read as Sci-Fi...I can't imagine how they got that!

Kari wrote: Just for fun maybe at the end we could post some of our favorite headscratchers. Like Jane Eyre as Scifi. "Sci-fi in particular seems to be one that people have trouble with. Almost all my books came back as sci-fi and i can assure you that none of them were. Although none as bad as Jane Eyre... that's for sure.
I also had American Gods and 33 people shelved it as 'humor', which makes me wonder whether those 33 people actually read it. I also wouldn't have called this a spiritual book, but there at least i can see a link
Another shelf that has my scratching my head is the shelf: "books". I'm not sure what else we would be shelving on goodreads...
Okay! I just found this again after losing track of it for a while. So bear with me while I catch up:6 Books

So excited to have remembered this challenge exists!
I am really excited by the number of people who are just starting this challenge, returning to this challenge or even lurking!
i have another one for the headscratchers list:Gabriel Garcia Marquez shelved as 'German-Classics'.

Adele wrote: I thought it was 2 shelves for 500+ pages and 3 shelves for 600+ pages?"You are correct:
* If a book has 400-499 pages - Mark off 1 extra shelf of your choice
* If a book has 500-599 pages - Mark off 2 extra shelves of your choice
* If a book has 600-699 pages - Mark off 3 extra shelves of your choice
* For more than 700 pages - Mark off 4 extra shelves of your choice
With that said, Suzanne, you can mark off extra shelves for the books you posted in Message 72. (Good catch Adele!)
