Actually, Melvil allowed for fiction in his literature section. If you look at the CIP in many American fiction books, they will give 813.xxx as the Dewey classification. I explain to my 5's (4x today!) that for our convenience we pull the fiction out of the 800's and arrange it by author's last name. In our (k-12) library we put the classic works (especially if we have criticisms too) in the lit section so they are with the criticisms. Seems pretty arbitrary tho. Any book you have not read is a new book ;-) Maureen S.
