Don't anybody dare say the Koran.  They keep a copy in courtrooms.

Koran.

There. Lawyers vaporized.

By contrast, I am happy with this.

DaVinci Code was a perfectly serviceable paperback thriller.  Twilight is tween romance, and is pretty standard for the genre.

Please try and come up with something slightly more evil - perhaps Mein Kampf of Mao's Little Red Book.

Silly.  I'd bet $100 that most copies of Hitler's or Mao's works are owned by people with a mere historical interest in the Third Reich or PRC.

I'm willing to bet that there are quite a few of Mao's works floating around China.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Inspired by Raz's genocide threat, I propose this question, you have to choose a particular book title, one that's been reprinted at least three times, and everyone within 10 feet of a copy of the title at the specified moment, gets erased from the face of the earth, so which book is it ?


At the moment I'm leaning towards the DaVinci code, but haven't pushed the button on it, as I know it would kill a lot of old dears/volunteers in thrift/charity shops.

Oh and one acception, anyone who works in a bookshop gets automatic immunity form the effect.

Think of it as the reverse of book burning, books that burn people.  :P

Thread.  I made a genocide thread, not threat.  I think there is an important distinction here.

Just proposed this to my mom, and she had a good answer: Dianetics. :lol:

Like it, plus Atlas Shrugged is a good one too.

Do they keep any books in a Mississippi court room?

I wouldnt go with the Da Vinci code.
It is of course not thaaaaat bad. And because it did so well and has such an undeserved good reputation a lot of people were given it as a gift (me...).
Not that i brought it to Japan with me.
Twilight too I would imagine is owned by a lot of girls who have since grown up- maybe make it one of the sequels so then you know its only the fans you're getting rid of?

Does the old testement count as a book? It has books in it right? Then we can get rid of all the abrahamists. :p

Though seriously I wouldnt say anything.

QuoteProblem is, it wouldn't get the morons who've seen the movie but not read the book.
People have seen the movie?

About 3 more then finished the book.  So it's like 9 people in all.

Quote from: wikipediaThe sales of Atlas Shrugged have since then sharply increased, according to The Economist magazine and The New York Times. The Economist reported that the fifty-two-year-old novel ranked #33 among Amazon.com's top-selling books on January 13, 2009 and that its thirty day sales average showed the novel selling three times faster than during the same period of the previous year. With an attached sales chart, The Economist reported that sales "spikes" of the book seemed to coincide with the release of economic data. Subsequently, on April 2, 2009, Atlas Shrugged ranked #1 in the "Fiction and Literature" category at Amazon and #15 in overall sales.[65][66][67] Total sales of the novel in 2009 exceeded 500,000 copies.[68] The book sold 445,000 copies in 2011, the second-strongest sales year in the novel's history. At the time of publication the novel was on the New York Times best-seller list and was selling at roughly a third the volume of 2011.[69]

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
