Because there isn't a whole lot to do at work, I'm attempting to memorize the Library of Congress Classification system. Not the numbers part, just the immediate breakdown of the letters. I decided that I'll try two letters a week - for instance, this week is A and B.
A - Collections. General Works
Then it breaks down into...
AC - Collections. Series.
AE - Encyclopedias
AG - Dictionaries and other general reference works
AI - Indexes
and so on
B - Philosophy. Psychology. Religion
Under this section, we find an interesting breakdown of something as complex as Religion
BL - Religions. Mythology. Rationalism
BM - Judaism
BP - Islam. Bahaism. Theosophy
BQ - Buddhism
BR - Christianity
BS - The Bible
Does anyone else find that hysterical, yet a bit sad at the same time?
At least we know exactly how the founders of the LC system felt about the Bible.
And what about any other religions that might be in the world...there is no place for them.
