If Fahrenheit 451 came true

“The Story of O” :slight_smile: .

City, by Clifford D. Simak, just because I love dogs.

Being a biblical sort, I’d go with Psalms, Hebrews or Tobit(gotta throw the apocrypha in there somewhere :P)

Instead of a novel, I’d take William Blake’s Songs of Innocence or Songs of Experience just because we have to have poetry too.

Man, I’d have to memorize an entire book? Umm… sign me up for Pat the Bunny. :smiley:

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.

I’ve got plenty of that memorized already.

Or Finnegans Wake. Be fun to try, anyway, and the Book People who’d been picking wild mushrooms would love ya.

The Bible

Leon Uris’ Exodus

I read that book over and over, during lunch and dinner, every day for 3 months while being “tutored” at my grand parents’ place. It was during my 6th grade summer; it was the only action book I could find there. Didn’t find the “cache” in the attic until a year later!

I’d be Clifton Fadiman’s THE NEW LIFETIME READING PLAN.

MAN, would I irritate people!

“Uke was just talking about Goethe’s FAUST and Wu Ch’eng-en’s JOURNEY TO THE EAST! Quick! Who’s got those?”

“Uhhhhh…I think Bob’s Goethe…he’s washing the breakfast dishes…and Mary Lou’s got the JOURNEY. I think I saw her down by the creek, sitting on Simon’s lap. You know Simon, he’s the Collected Poetry of Auden.”

Which one?

The Anarchist Cookbook

or

A Fans Notes by Frederick Exely

Point Counterpoint --Aldous Huxley
or maybe some Vonnegut. Or Pratchett. Aww hell, I couldn’t decide :slight_smile:

Cool. I’ve never met anyone else who read POINT COUNTERPOINT.

I should read that muthah again…it’s been years. And it was SO good!
