0-999

The goal: read at least one book from every "decade" of the Dewey Decimal System. The purposes: get better acquainted with the system itself and with the breadth of human knowledge. (For example, did you know that there is a Dewey Decimal category for books about badminton?!) The method: check out one or more books from a given decade, starting with 000-009, every three weeks. Complete the book, rinse and repeat. Welcome to my journey from 0-999!
