When I nothing better to do, I complain to the information desk at Barnes &
Noble that they have a biography shelved by the subject's middle name. After
they say "That can't be right," I tell them it's Marie Antoinette. Then I
tell them I can tell them the first name of all of her sisters. Marie, of
course.
