"There's a place, I think, that looks like a McDonald's, except that the O is burnt out. They serve deep-fried novels there. The paper curls around the edges, and the smell is enough to twist one's mind towards bibliophobia. The classics are a delicacy. What would you order?"

That depends. Are the novels for eating, or for reading?

"How d' you wanna use 'em?"

[rent_and_torn]

Well, books aren't too edible for me, and grease smudges the ink to where you can't see a damn thing.

You know, maybe I'm just being a little too realistic here. Let's try the first thing that pops into my head trick. I'd order "Something Wicked This Way Comes."

"Everyone's a bit realistic sometimes."

"Hmmm...what's that about? Is it based on the Shakespeare play?" She'd have to knock on wood if she said the name. Being an actress and all.

[rent_and_torn]

I doubt it. It's a novel by Ray Bradbury about a dark carnival that plagues a little town. It's a sweet read if you're into the goth sort of thing.

He pulled some good tricks in his time. You won't be disappointed.

She nodded. "'M sure. His stuff wouldn't be banned for nothin'...it hasta be somethin' good, yeah?"
