"Fiction" is most of the shelves and then there's like, a very very small section of nonfiction that's a little more categorized (biographies, history, philosophy)
ｓｌｕｔｏｒｕ
...... gently moves the self help book over to the nonfiction section ....

I think the only section of fiction that's separated out are the new bestsellers (I didn't photograph that (obviously)) and the "series" section
DR. MEGANE
Tuesdays with Morrie is also not alphabetical, it should go with the A's not Ms
