Fictional Fail

May 11, 2009 - 10:18am — Great Western Dragon

The Consumerist posts a humourous picture of a shelving error at Barnes & Noble. Perhaps they might consider hiring a librarian, if for no other reason than we know the difference between fiction and non fiction.

See if you can spot the fail.

Anne Frank

I didnt catch the Anne Frank book until the second time I looked at it. I was thinking the Guinness Book was what was being referred to.

I think they both are, along with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

autobiography = fiction

maya angelou's book is sometimes referred to as autobiographical fiction; the Guinness book is a load of made-up stuff; the Holocaust never happened; and most of those 50 short stories are only "pretty good."

since those are clearly Fiction, that leaves Dan Brown as the sole truth-teller about Jesus and his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great granddaughter. so Dan is FAIL. what do I win?
