The Robot Librarian's Reading Challenge discussion

The 900s section of the Dewey Decimal System covers History, including:

*World history
*Genealogy
*Geography

and biographies right?

Mary wrote: "and biographies right?"

Yes, biographies fall under the 900s! I had to look it up, since the library I work at uses the Dewey Decimal System but also has a separate section for biographies.

I'm thinking about reading a book about the Huxley family. Aldous Huxley wrote A Brave New World among other things, and many other members of the family were notable in their fields.

Mine does too!

Maxine Kingston – The Woman Warrior

Thinking of one of Bill Bryson's travel books, In a Sunburned Country or Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe

ETA: reading They Called Us Enemy for another challenge and my library shelves it in the 900s.

I read One Hot Summer: Dickens, Darwin, Disraeli, and the Great Stink of 1858. (942.1081) ★★★★

I read A Place Called America: A Story of the Land and People by Jennifer Thermes - 4/26/24. Shelved as 973 THE.

I listened to The Great Fire (J977.311041)

I read Born To Run, Bruce Springsteen's autobiography. Although I've seen conflicting classifications with some libraries putting it in music (700)? But having read it, it's a life story not about music.
