Help me stock the ultimate (fictional) library

Nice! The lead character in Stephen King’s 'Salem’s Lot was also a novelist who had a book or two to his name, but I forget their title(s), and don’t have King’s book on hand.

Actually, it contains words written in an “alien script” by the creator-god of the setting. There’s nothing ordinary about it.

And don’t call me Shirley.

What was the name of the genealogy/history book Ned Stark finds out Jon Arryn had been looking through in Game of Thrones, if it had a name? Google isn’t helping.

The complete works of pulp-era science fiction writer and illustrator Adolph Hitler. His novels are out of print and his short stories have never been collected. Only “Lord of the Swastika” is available and only because it’s appended in its entirety to a review by Homer Whipple (pen name of Norman Spinrad).

Douglas Adams, Richard Dawkins, pravnik, and myself would understand the reference. But, unfortunately, it would probably remain opaque to you.

Are you serious? Too intellectual? Each of these novels was a best seller, authored by some of the best writers in the world. The list was supposed to be to stock a fiction library. What is your idea of fiction anyway? Action comics? :smack:

The point was that you claimed Richard Dawkins was the author. I guess you can’t actually find a source any more than I could, so you resort to insult. Have it your own way.

Largo62 - you might want to re-read the original post - not a fiction library, but a fictional one, ie made up of books that don’t exist except in works of fiction. Otherwise, great choices.

Oh.

Now I’m embarrassed. :o

For a fictional book IN a fictional book, how about Emmanuel Goldstein’s treatise on geopolitical realities in Orwell’s “1984”?

You’ll probably want the collected films of Troy McClure on DVD in this make-believe library of yours: List of Troy McClure Films | Simpsons Wiki | Fandom

The Launcelot Panther stories by Gemma Bow and her classmates, from Noel Streatfeild’s children’s novel Gemma.

A classic!

Thanks ! I figured there should be at least one cookbook in the library :smiley:

Or, for the more commerce minded, the Paginarum Fulvarum.
