[Publib] Smarter than a 5th grader and the show's producers

[Bruce Bumbalough]

They are called Belles Lettres.    I think a library could easily put
all adult level materails into the DDC.   It might be in keeping with
the law of save the toime of the reader and would require a browser to
cover the books et al about an author as well as those by she or he.  It
would also require the reader knowing the nationality of the writer.

literature,
which is different.
