serendipity

Alphabetizing the paperbacks properly means that A Little Princess is next to A Princess of Mars. I find this far more amusing than it probably deserves.

And we're all going to ignore the little goblin in the back of my head that now wants to write A Little Princess of Mars. Right? Right.

As you were.

Would it be anything like "Naked came the stranger in a strange land"?

My favorite alphabetization result is Charles Platt's The Gas next to Sylvia Plath.

Alphabetizing is a failture of the organizational imagination, that's what.

Every time I shelve videos at the library (where it's just alphabetical) I laugh at 8 1/2 next to 8 1/2 Women next to 8 Women.

I remember getting emailed a list of those books. The compiler of the list called them 'merge-matics', but there has to be a better name. There were summaries attached. It was great.

Cherish your goblins!

I adore serendipities of alphabetical order. (Do you think Melusine sits uneasily next to Anne of Green Gables?)

I need my goblin to take a number and sit down, please.

One does not cherish a goblin, exactly. But one does not like to waste them.
