Working in the remote shelving facility is fun - I never deal with patrons or answer the phone, I just enter data about old books into the computer and gab with the co-workers. Sometimes, I see an amusing title - usually, like Ukranians in America or Alas Poor Yorick, they remind me of mst3k lines.

Today, I came across a very interesting book called Books that were Fatal to their Authors, the call number in Dewey is 809 D61. It was written in 1895 and has information about a bunch of authors grouped into the subject of their fatal book. If google wasn't monitoring me for speed, I might have read a little story or two.
