[YOWLS when a particularly heavy one lands on his tail]

[patria_ou_mort]

If you do not wish to be at risk, I would recommend seeking cover.

*fending off a couple more books :/*

[shootin_blanks]

It's a little bit harder to seek cover when you can't reach doorknobs! [darting under a nearby tree]

[patria_ou_mort]

Not every place requires entering through a door. Additionally, as you yourself seem to know, one might take advantage of the natural landscape.

*gfjl goddamn poets. dodges a Wordsworth anthology.*

[climaxinside]

*TAKES A HARDCOVER GIANT PRINT COPY OF THAT H. G. WELLS BOOK TO THE HEAD*

Waaaaaah....?

[patria_ou_mort]

Are you all right? Either remain alert or find a safer location.

*knocking aside yet another copy of Ninety-three*

[climaxinside]

Sorry, sorry....I'm okay.

*WHUMP hey who knew that Time: A Traveler's Guide could be so heavy*

[patria_ou_mort]

That does not appear to be the case. Move or be moved.

[oneknightstands]

But where are these coming fr-ah!

[Throwing up an arm to knock away a particularly lengthy collection of Arthurian legends.]

[patria_ou_mort]

This has happened to me once previously in my time here. As for whence the books come -- there is no logical answer to that, I am afraid.

[oneknightstands]

[Suddenly, these keywords are relevant. Kicking away the next set of novels to make an attempt on his skull.]

-It's happened before? When?

[patria_ou_mort]

*would be more impressed by your spinning if I weren't currently distracted by the collection of history texts hurtling in my direction*

If I recall correctly, it would have to have been more than two years ago -- a few months after my arrival here.

[a_valiant_rose]

[narrowly dodges being hit by a thick book on the life of Madame de Pompadour] It's raining books now?

[patria_ou_mort]

*watch out, there's some Three Musketeers coming our way*

While more sanitary to a rain composed of food items, this does seem to be more dangerous.

[a_valiant_rose]

[And now The Time Machine is making a beeline for her head. Cute camp, really cute.]

At least this won't smell as bad come [ker-DODGE] tomorrow?

[patria_ou_mort]

Indeed. I cannot recall what happened to the books the last time that this occurred, but it would not surprise me if they were somehow simply absorbed into the library.

*well, I have a Les Mis coffee table book heading for me right now -- talk about tasteless*

[myblackwand]

*is being bombarded by A Mighty Thundering of Wisdom, Not One Word of Which Can Be Gainsaid: An Examination of the Failings, Ethical, Moral, Literary, Historical, Grammatical, Intellectual and Otherwise of the Work and Person of Paarfi of Roundwood, Formerly of this University - a Perfunctory Summary. All six volumes.*

[patria_ou_mort]

*doing his best to knock some of them aside, using his shotgun somewhat in the manner of a baseball bat*

Are you all ri-

*...takes Plato's Republic to the back of the head :(*

[myblackwand]

*gets back to his feet, rubbing his head, and pulls you aside before a copy of Volume V (On the Lecherous Behavior of Paarfi of Roundwood, Profusely and Extensively Illustrated with Engraved Plates, Many of Them in Color, Depicting Each of the Actresses, Mannequins, Warriors, Courtesans, Hired Sluts, and Promising Young Female Writers with Whom Paarfi's Name Has Been Linked, Whether Conclusively Proved (Chapters 1-LIV), or Merely Rumored, Either on Good Authority (Chapters LV-CIV) or Poor or No Authority At All (Chapters CV-CLX)) can follow up The Republic with devastating result.*

Nearly. I'd heard that publications of the University Press tended to be rather mind-numbing, but I doubt they meant it quite so literally.

[patria_ou_mort]

*also rubbing his head, glancing around and moving toward the nearest source of some shelter -- that nearby tree seems nice. we both are rather dangerous individuals to be around at the current time, it appear. and watch out for that Rent coffee table book.*

It seems as though that would be another example of camp's ill-suited "sense of humor."

These are books that you recognize, then?
