OH! OH! CLASSIFY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a chance for all you non-librarians to get a taste of the fun that is CATALOGING!

The catalogers are like the gods of the library. We get to decide where in the library the book gets to live! How special, right?

Anyway, the basic way this works is this:

  1. Decide what the book is about
  2. Convert that aboutness into either a Dewey or LC classification code
It's easy, see?

So what I want to know is if I was a book, where would I go? I want you to pick out my aboutness. I can do the tricky part of converting it into a Dewey Decimal.
