Dewey Decimal System Day

Where would we ever be without Simon Dewey when we want a good book to read?  As much as I detested this section of study in just about every English/Language Arts class in school where you had to memorize (supposed to anyway) this system...it sure makes it easy to find what you're looking for.  I absolutely love to read and to learn.  While I have had less time the last few years, it is quite common to find me in a book (or on the internet to learn with today's modern technology).  This system has been quite helpful in many libraries in my life.

As a different side of this system, I thought you could get to know me a little better by knowing what I like to read.  As a reminder, there are ten sections starting with 000-099 and ending with 900-999.  You're giddy with excitement already, I know.  Are you ready?

I enjoy:
010-014 (selected works)
040-041
150-158
170-173, 177
220-228- should be one everyone loves (I really should spend more time with many in the 200's.)
300-307
320-328
342
443, 445- trying to spend more time here
800's (selected works)
900's (selected ones)

I have spent time throughout the 500's, 600,'s and 700's in my lifetime and likely will continue.

I hope that you have learned a little more about me through knowing what I like to read.  Go grab a book of your own in your favorite Dewey Decimal System section.
