One of my favorite side stories in "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss is the University library, where they reveal a history of hard fought, vicious battles between factions of librarians, over distant catalog and indexing systems. It drives home how complex and vast a task it must have been to organize large numbers of books before computers.

But I am grinding my teeth because there is no book 3! When! If ever? Patrick, come on, man, you did such a good job on these two, finish it!
