Lance Armstrong books moved to fiction section in Australian library

The fallout from Lance Armstrong's confession to using performance-enhancing drugs continues.

In fact, the ripples have gone so wide they have actually reached around the world to Manly Library in Sydney, Australia.

There librarians have puzzled over what to do with Armstrong's many books and have come up with the perfect solution.


They have all been recategorized and put in the fiction section, according The Australian.

... which is probably where you belong:

The library sorts its non-fiction books using the Dewey Decimal System. Fraud books may be found under the call numbers "364.163." Library staff members will be happy to direct you to this section if you require additional assistance.


On edit: A little more research revealed that 364.163 is the classification for 'Fraud'...that's more precise than 'True Crime' (364.1523) that was my original classification.

I'd vote for 'True Crime' since multiple crimes were committed, including fraud. Well, unless you're speaking of him personally, as in a biography -- "Lance: A Fraud".
