Five Book's I'd eat.

Five books I would eat... Though many would think of this figuratively I'll talk about this literally.

Stephenie Meyer's
Twilight/New Moon/ Eclipse/ Breaking Dawn- Not just the first one, but the whole series can come out of my behind. These books aren't really worth the time and effort that everyone's investing into them (ask Powles, his dislike for it was the only thing I remember from EST 4U1). Speaking of investing, the money that goes into buying these books is just a little bit ridiculous... Yeah, a good 10-20$ x4= 40-80$. Why would I pay for such a thing? It’s just too much money to spend in this economy. I say save your money and let me just eat these books up out of existence instead.

The Dictionary- Why the Dictionary? Well not for the reason of it being so informative, but for the reason of it's grammatical corrections. For some reason my spelling is just not up to par with this book. I have a decent vocabulary I'd say, and it's not like I CAN'T spell, but sometimes I just can't help but misspell things... If I ate this book the proper spelling would just dissolve in my stomach and I would never have to worry about a spelling mistake again.

Cook Books/Instructions- Doesn't matter if it's Italian, Asian, Indian or heck, even the directions on a Campbell's soup can. Cooking just isn't my strong suit and the directions that any of these books give don't help me out either. I end up usually making the worse meal of my life when I follow these directions. Cooking blindfolded would probably turn out better then what I've accomplished through reading these books.

Kurt Vonnegut's
Slaughterhouse Five- People consider this book and many other Kurt Vonnegut books classics and apparently in EST 4U1 his writing is unique and one that stimulates your mind and keeps you guessing. Instead this book gives me a headache and possible indigestion. But I'd still go through eating it and taking Pepto-Bismol afterward just so I know this book will be going down in the toilet … or so it goes.

Yann Martel’s
Life of Pi- This book was assigned for us to read in grade 11 English class. Honestly, every time I pulled it out to read, I started to get drowsy and close my eyes (the only thing that kept me from falling asleep was the sticky heat of the English classrooms due to the lack of air conditioning we have going on here at o.p). This book should just be eaten out of existence because… well… I just find it so boring. Really the tiger should of just eaten Patel so this book wouldn’t have came into existence, but since the tiger was too friendly I now have to eat this book to get rid of it. Woe is me.
