The Book Meme

which I inherited from SB.

You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?

Thanks to SB, for explaining this:

“As I recall, folks in this story memorized books to save them (to save the books) from the fire; they became the book they memorized.”

I have never been able to memorize anything other than songs. So I suppose that I could become a songbook, or two…

Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan

Hejira - Joni Mitchell
