You could, if you felt the urge to, divide all of the books I’ve ever read into those that at some point describe a behavioural experiment conducted on pigeons, and those that don’t.

This “new fiction” section contains a selection of works including Oliver Twist, Gulliver’s Travels and Crime and Punishment. I can’t wait to see what exciting works are produced next by today’s wonderfully inventive authors.
Worryingly, it also seems that the person on the front of one of the other, unidentified books is playing the circle game.
