I just ran across the results of a poll that asked 29,000 Americans
about their book-owning habits, and friends, I am shocked — shocked!

to report that there are people who have absolutely no organizational
system whatsoever. Worse — worse, I tell you — there are some who

sort

their books by color. Color!

Sorry about that. I'm not surprised, though, the Post is more
aggressive about pushing ads on its own subscribers than is the
New York Times.

Here's a clue, WaPo: if I have to give you something to get something,
it ain't free.
