There was an out-of-print paper book not available in ebook format that I really wanted to read, so I ordered a paper copy intending to scan it, but it's been a month since it shipped, and it still hasn't showed up (I blame this ont he fact that the title is _The Wandering Scholars_).

So I did a little more googling and found out that there is an online collection which had it available for reading online, but, as I am not a member of the university collective it offers access to, I could only read it one page at a time.

I just spent the past three hours copying and pasting the etext together, page by page. It is 330 pages long, so that's about, um, a hundred pages an hour.

Am I the only person who commits this kind of insanity?

The Hotel Denouement from the Lemony Snicket books is based on
this hotel in NYC

which uses the Dewey Decimal System to organize it's rooms.
I now know the location of my personal Disneyland.
