in thread The view from Barnes & Noble

I love it that in U.K public libraries they used to (and still do, in fact) organise their shelves by the Dewey Decimal system , which put subjects in this order:
# 000 – Computer science, information, and general works # 100 – Philosophy and psychology # 200 – Religion # 300 – Social sciences # 400 – Languages # 500 – Science and Mathematics # 600 – Technology and applied science # 700 – Arts and recreation # 800 – Literature # 900 – History and geography and biography,
and the 100's always seemed to attract the rather far out and wacky end of the spectrum.

I always thought it entertaining that books on programming ended up sharing a shelf with Erich_von_Daniken ;-)
