Beachesnbooks asked Scott Hawkins:

I absolutely loved your book--it was so unique and creative. It's really refreshing to read something that different. I had a question about how you determined the disciplines that each of the children studied at the Library. Why was there no discipline for literature, or for history? What made you choose the areas of study that you did--was there anything in particular that influenced your choices?
