Differential Equations are more fun than triple integrals.
Julius Caesar is a superior play to Macbeth.
Rudyard Kipling is the superior author to Joseph Conrad.
Beethoven's 9th symphony is his best one.
I DON'T use the Dewey decimal system to organize my book shelves.

Just tell them you don't use book shelves. Piles are the way to go.

We don't use the Dewey Decimal System in our libraries.

Vanderbilt University's Jean and Alexander Heard Libraries primarily use the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) system to organize and shelve their general book collections across campus.
Library of Congress Classification (LCC): Used by most of the collections within the Heard Libraries network. It organizes materials alphabetically and by subject into 21 major subject classes using alphanumeric call numbers.
This is life changing info. Thank you

And, yet, we need 24 teams in a playoff.

Does Kentucky have room for bandwagon fans?

Math isn’t fun unless there’s dollars involved.
Julius Caesar IS better than MacBeth. The historical MacBeth was a pretty good king, but obviously James I descended from the Stewart royal dynasty so Willy pumped up his patron at the cost of historical accuracy.
Neither Kipling nor Conrad are “better”. They have different writing styles. Kipling is more action oriented with clear narratives steeped in folklore. Conrad has a more brooding, thoughtful, tone and themes and mainly critiques European imperialism.
I’ve always been partial to Beethoven’s 6th.
Why would you organize fiction by the DD system? I organize my history nonfiction by chronology and location.
