So Book

When I first saw books that were sorted by color, I was against it. My gut reaction was disapproving. But then, sometimes I’m completely wrong.

It at first seemed to me that the books were subservient to the color scheme. It seemed like some froo la la person who couldn’t go camping because there was no electricity for a makeup mirror and hair dryer had arranged them that way.

But now that I’ve gotten over my silly prejudices, I see the pretty rainbow. It’s gorgeous, and perfect for some people. People who are visually oriented will have just as easy a time remembering the exact shade of the book cover as they will the last name of author. Perhaps an easier time! So the books are just as accessible to the one who loves them as with some other more traditional method of arrangement.

And oooh, look, it’s pretty! Still, I’m almost sure that my books will remain as before, with Francis Hodgson Burnett nestled cosily up next to Edgar Rice Burroughs. Almost sure.
