In “In the bookroom,” it should be mentioned that our bookroom has recently had a bit of a face-lift (in actuality, a paper-lift, pulled off by myself and a few other diligent workers here at LJ that got to stretch their legs and rest their computer-glazed eyes for some good ol’ manual labor). In reorganizing, I was struck by the number and variety of interdisciplinary titles. Sorting books by category is getting harder than ever. On one hand, it gives me a good excuse to spend a few extra seconds flipping through each book we get and scanning the press materials. On the other, things can almost get sent to two different reviewers in different subject areas, and reviews get moved from one section to another and back again. Some other things have added to this idea in my head as it rolls along, picking up another layer of thought from another medium. Clayton A. Couch, our magazines reviewer, praises the Journal of Consciousness Studies in the Sept. 1 issue: “As knowledge of the universe is increasingly plagued by isolated, subject-specific academic discussion, there is a need for more publications that encourage interdisciplinary exchange, like the JCS…. [in which] the editors emphasize clarity of thought over jargon-laden language.” I also recently got an amusing Onion article, “Dewey Decimal System Helpless To Categorize New Jim Belushi Book,” delivered to my inbox by a coworker. (We categorized Real Men Don’t Apologize! as humor/lit in the May 15 issue.) Talk here about whether 9/11 books could be considered for the history category and a recent galley I opened that called a book “current events/history” are other things to think about. An intern said, “Well, it will be history one day.” Ain’t that the truth? I move to categorize everything as history from now on, and we’ll never have to change a thing.
