| "We got literature out the ass ..." |
If you're the quiet, bookish type, never happier than when curled up by the fireside with a novel, curtains drawn against the night and a guttering candle at your elbow, then that's probably why you need glasses! Turn the furshluginner light on, ya doofus! Say ... who's that knocking at your door? Why, it's moviedom's Morgan Freeman, with this week's curated selection of reading material! Come on in, Mr. Freeman!
FX SQUEAKY CART WHEELS, WHISTLING
MF Okay loser, I got a bunch of swell books to help you forget you're a lifer with zero chance of getting your ass paroled! I bet you still fantasizing about being curled up by the fireside, huh. Well, them days are gone like a train. (grins cheerily)
YOU (sobs) Society is to blame! And rock and roll music!
MF Yeah right. Listen, I got Agricultural And Land Drainage Reform In The Low Countries In The 17th And 18th Centuries, in fourteen volumes, or I got some shitty old science fiction paperbacks ...
YOU Them drainage books - they gots pitchers?
MF Uhh ... nope.
YOU Got any old Oui magazines? [see below - Ed.]

| Interview with Fidel Castro! Oboy! |
MF (momentary dreamy expression) Ooh yeah ... Oui Magazine. Nope. Take the paperbacks.
YOU Gee whiz. I ain't into science.
MF How about fiction?
YOU (without enthusiasm) I guess.
Morgan Freeman tosses books onto your narrow cot and wheels book cart away, whistling Don't Worry, Be Happy.

Today's Book Bonanza™ is four novels by very possibly the UK's greatest novelist of the 20C! No, not me, but thanks for the thought! You'll enjoy these swell volumes for their dystopian prescience, hallucinatory imagery, and shortness!

Radical Teacher was pretty good, but I'll stick with MAD. CYCLEtoons and CARtoons, CYCLEtoons, NatPoon
