Sometimes I have to restrain myself

I'm in a bookstore this evening and I see a shelf marked

Christian Fiction.

I had to resist the urge to do a certain amount of reshelving. Mostly because I like the folks who work there and it would reflect badly on them.

muahahaha!

Which bookstore was this? A major one, or some small chain thing?

I had fun years ago, working at a local book fair. we had numerous copies of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". We put a handful under science-fiction, a few under humor, and a few under travel. Nobody stopped us, hehe. We put religious texts, the Bible, the Koran, even "The Satanic Verses" right next to Joseph Campbell's mythology books. I know we put a few biographies under either fiction or humor, and a lot of politically themed books went under humor. I think we put Heinlein's "Time Enough For Love" under "Romance" and his "Stranger in a Strange Land" under "Travel". We put L. Ron Hubbard's "Battlefield Earth" into science fiction, religion, humor, and budget books.

So yes, there is SOME justice in the world...
