since heckling is now illegal, an alternative form of protest is outlined below:


1. Select a local bookstore to carry out your reshelving activities.

2. Download and print "This book has been relocated by the Ministry of Reshelving bookmarks and "All copies of 1984 have been relocated" notecards to take with you to the bookstore. Or make your own.

3. Go to the bookstore and locate its copies of George Orwell's 1984. Unless the Ministry of Reshelving has already visited this bookstore, it is probably currently incorrectly classified as "Fiction" or "Literature."

4. Discreetly move all copies of 1984 to a more suitable section, such as "Current Events", "Politics", "History", "True Crime", or "New Non-Fiction."

5. Insert a Ministry of Reshelving bookmark into each copy of any book you have moved. Leave a notecard in the empty space the books once occupied.

6. If you spot other incorrectly classified books, feel free to relocate them.



regarding number 6 what other books can we reshelf?

to start you all off how about Kafka's the Trial in to politics

    Move "On Liberty" and other such titles into History.

    Because that''s what our liberties are now.

    Labour's last Manifesto can fill the gap in Fiction.

    Is it not ironic that there is a government ministry in charge of Local Government?

    selecting people to be representative by something as random as who their parents were is fairly democratic - not as democratic as selecting them by lottery, but less open to allegations of fiddling.

    We were promised to have an elected house - I want it.
