Dewey Decimal Challenge

Welcome one and all!

The Challenge: Read a book from every Dewey Decimal category.

This sounds like fun! How do I start? There's a list of the categories here. You can find the Dewey Decimal numbers of many books in the Details section of their LT Work page (or see the new Dewey browser), and you can also add a Dewey Decimal column to your catalogue that will show the numbers from other people's catalogues if you don't have that data yourself. Then click "Post a new topic" and start listing what you've read!

There are so many possibilities! The suggestions wiki lists books that members particularly recommend for each category.

I want more challenges like this! You may also be interested in the LC Classification Challenge.
