Great Regulars: Since I had nothing but time,

I would go to the poetry section (811 in the Dewey System . . . 821 English Poetry, 831 and 841 German, French Poetry, respectively, and onward through the nations). I would pick three volumes, pretty much at random, and take them to the map room, where I would read not only the content but also the cover material and the copyright page. I did that every day for many years. [--Carl Adamshick]
