If you were a book what would you be?

I'd be in the non-fiction section, a text book of some sort, but not an encyclopedia. Bummer. My subject would be .. existential realism. I'd be checked out less than twice per year, read half-way and forgotten about lmao

What about you?

 

A Tintin cartoon.

 

Tintin sure gets around! Pretty interesting

The guy who drew them never went anywhere. It is actually quite remarkable how much fitting details of all the different surroundings he managed to include.
This was in a time before you could simply google a pic of some foreing country's rural areas or even a famous square or statue

 

Something like Death and the Dervish.

 

willie the j.o.a.t. or more probably charles cogsworth, or maybe even willie mcgilly.
if it were a mystery i'd be constantine quiche. if it were a search for the nile or a meskatonic chulu hunt, i'd be huntington craigsworth-smythe.

i suppose i could even be flinx. or valintine michael smith.

or case, from case and the dreamer.

oh you mean if i WERE a book, rather then a character in one?

the last whole earth catalogue, or the book 'shelter'

persistance of vission, a transatlantic tunnel, hurrah!, strange doings, the reefs of earth, 900 grandmothers, sirens of titan, ringworld engineers, resteraunt at the end of the universe.

if there were a just one, it would be set on a world and in space with the people form that world, who had ftl and anti-grav but replace the car with narrow gauge railways for fuel efficiency and had long since used up all the oil and coal, if they'd even had any, and powered everything without burning anything.

nevada county narrow gauge is another book i might be.

something full strange alternative architecture and strange alternative ways of building it, and strange little railways.

 

Western pioneer.

 

Interesting question....of which I do not have an answer, but interesting....

 

Cartoonwise you could pick Buddy Longway then :2thumbsup:

 

Buddy Longway??

 

Graphic novel. Ghost World.

 

Monster_Jonathan_Kellerman_novel
I dont really have a basics for the reason, other than probably the only the few handful of books Ive read and remembered.. or

The_Dark_Half

 

one book that sort of speaks me, is "yv88"

well the technology has evolved somewhat differently from when it was written, but the basic concepts are there.

(pretty close to what i described as the KIND of book that would be me. even without the ftl and anti-grav)

 

7 and earlier i would have been a family circus book..mostly running a billion trails around the neighbourhood

8 to 14 would have been a Calvin and Hobbes book...learning a million things on adventures

15 and up mostly just a boring slow moving uninteresting average biography type book

 

Mahabharata

The Mahabharata is the longest known epic poem and has been described as "the longest poem ever written".[5][6] Its longest version consists of over 100,000 shloka or over 200,000 individual verse lines (each shloka is a couplet), and long prose passages. About 1.8 million words in total, the Mahabharata is roughly ten times the length of the Iliad and the Odyssey combined, or about four times the length of the Ramayana

You would like him I think.

 

Anthropology or science. But it would be in Cypher text.

 

:2thumbsup:

 

An unfinished piece of work.

 

Love this answer. How I feel, as well.
