The Universal Man is knowledgeable in all fields of study. The Universal Chan is going to try to become a universal man by reading a book from every Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) category. This is not an overnight endeavour. I may not succeed, but I hope to have fun trying.
The idea came to me at the library, strangely enough. I’ve recently taken out books on writing, blogging, writing for your blog, etc… I hadn’t quite found a theme that appealed to me. I wanted to find something interesting, something people could relate to and try themselves, and to be honest, I’d like to get on CBC’s Wild Rose Country, so I wanted to pick a topic worthy of that programme. Once I get on WRC, my life will be complete. While at the library, I grabbed a pamphlet on the DDC and it occurred to me, that the DDC is also a list of fields of expertise. Since the Universal Chan is going to attempt to become a Universal Man, the DDC seems like a good checklist.
Stay tuned. Next up, A Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan, 001.9 SAG (Edmonton Public Library call number).
