January 13--Today I did shelf readings from 291 WATTS (as in Alan) to 306.874 SELFISH. But I did it backwards, starting with 306 (Culture and Institutions) and going back to 291 (Currently “Unassigned” but once designated Comparative Religion). Clearly I need to learn what the exact Dewey decimal numbers mean since (((Semitism))): Being Jewish in America in the Age of Trump by Jonathan Weisman was 305.892 but Antisemitism Here and Now by Deborah Lipstadt was 305.8924—what does that extra 4 mean? |
