Quite some time ago someone asked it I could label books fiction or nonfiction,
and I have been doing that--no trouble. But was the reason tomake a search
easier for fiction? Or for nonfiction? Books added today include lot of recipe
books, and I've been writing "recipe" instead of nonfiction. That would not
cause problems for someone who wanted to do a search for fiction, but it would
for nonfiction. Should I just write fiction or nonfiction instead of being more
specific? I also indicate, for fiction, when I can ascertain the genre, whether
it's fantasy fiction or science fiction, but that contains the word fiction so
anyone searching for fiction could find that easily. I write religion or
religious for books about the Bible or religious faith because I don't want to
designate them fiction or nonfiction--that would depend upon one's beliefs.
If you have opinions on this matter, please reply to me on or offlist before 11
p.m. Pacific time.
Thank you.
