Want to have some fun with your local bookseller or librarian? Here are some surefire ways to make them laugh…or maybe chase you out of the store/library.
-Ask them if they have any books by Jane Eyre.
-Turn around all of the books in the mystery section so that you can’t read the spines. The mystery section is now a mystery section.
-Ask for a book that you don’t know the title of but you happen to know the color of the cover.
-Ask if they have any books by Oliver Twist.
-Ask if they have read every book in the store/library.
-Ask for a recommendation and when they ask what kind of book you like to read say, “oh, anything,” and then turn down every recommendation they give you.
-Ask if they have an autographed copy of the Bible.
-Tell them you have published a book similar to 50 Shade of Grey and you would like to have an event at the store/library complete with reenacted scenes from said book.
-Ask if they have a copy of Anti Gone by Syphocles.
-Ask where the children’s section is, find a book targeted for a very young audience, find the smallest chair or beanbag, sit and read for the whole day.
-Ask if they have any books by Robinson Crusoe.
-Re-arrange book titles to form clever sayings like, “To Kill A Mockingbird Hamlet Must Love Dogs” and “On My Side of the Mountain, The Devil in the White City Accused The Invisible Man In Cold Blood And The Mountains Echoed.”
