Dewey becomes a staple of this Spencer, Iowa library and community, transforming all of their lives for the better.Second, while reading this subtly-amused novel, its readers also gain more information and knowledge on various famous English literary men. For instance, "When Carlyle was presented to the queen, he, being an eccentric and anyway a man totally unschooled in court procedures, suddenly sat down on a chair.

(p. 443) Or "Sir Francis Bacon observed in his Novum Orgnum that one can only triumph over nature by obeying the laws of nature. ..." (p. 443) And "This stage of the literary figure is already evidenced in England where two of their leading novelists, Henry James and George Meredith, have personailties so strong and so strongly reflected in their novels that very few people care to read them. ..."

Bob Walker is sort of the OG of catification - The Cats' House documents the home that he and Frances Mooney built in San Diego to be the ultimate feline playhouse, with walkways, floor-to-ceiling scratching posts, and jungle gyms galore.
