Funny Thought


     Snuck between the pages of a library book I was reading recently was a small note saying, "If you understood this book call me," followed by a phone number.

     I thought it would be fun to make a bunch of copies of the note and randomly seed books at the library with them.  Think of the options:  simple page turners, kids' books, textbooks, etc.  What would it be like if they actually got calls from people describing a book which had no ties to what they had struggled and failed to comprehend?

     "It's about space pirates looking for a fabled treasure...."

     "It's quite obviously about archaeology, what part didn't you understand?"

     "The rabbit really likes carrots."

     I didn't do it though.  Maybe next time.
