"These Books Were Made For Eating".. (Simpson, Jessica. "www.muchmusic.com")

It's a matter of life or death, books are the only source of food I have left....
All in all, I would rather starve.. but,

Five books I would enjoy eating include:

1. The "Great" Gatsby-
Despite being ancient, like mouldy bread, I would still eat The "Great" Gatsby. I highly despised reading this book for a whole semester in ENG4U. I think I can be a better bootlegger than Jay Gatz. His parties are soft, like a rotten peach. I did not enjoy reading about the American Dream. I would rather read about my own dreams. I would enjoy eating this novel, just so I can say I'm doing a favour for us all and never have to see the book again.

2. Rough Waters-
Not going to lie, at first, I didn't feel like reading this novel at all. I ended up reading it in about three days prior to the due date of my comparative essay. It ended up being the most intriguing book I've ever read, and quickly asked my mother to buy it for me. My mom never bought the book, so I will just eat it instead, so it will stay with me forever.

3. My Mother's Italian Cook Book
Although it's put away in some drawer in our basement, I would eat my mother's Italian Cook Book. I don't think she has ever used it, her cooking is pretty spectacular without the use of a book. I assume most of the Italian food my mother makes will be illustrated in this cook book, making it very delightful to eat.

4. Sports Illustrated Magazine
Enough said. Digesting this masterpiece would help educate me into becoming an author for Sports Illustrated myself. The excessive pictures would also be more inviting to eat, rather than simply 200 pages of text.

5. Macbeth
I'm probably not alone when I say this one. If it was possible to boil this soft covered book into an edible substance, I would. All of Shakespeare's novels deserve to be on my bad side, and soon enough, it will be coming out of my back side.

  1. You're the first person (and possibly only person?) who I've noticed has made the connection and reference to the most obvious and inevitable chemical change that would occur post ingestion . . .
