If you had to *literally* eat one book...

[PunkyMcGee]

The little book of calm.


Seems nice.

looks like you beat me to it. 1. it's small. 2. you gain the power to administer terrible advice.

 

[Micalas]

This. I would most definitely eat this literary masterpiece.

Spoiler

 

[Dalmonite]

The Ultimate Ninja Handbook I have. It is very well-aged.

 

[Deathmageddon]

Depends on if it tastes like its content, if, by consumption, we gain its knowledge, or if we're eating it just for the joy of destroying a copy.
For flavor: Gotta go with a mexican cookbook
For knowledge: Encyclopedia
For destruction: WUTHERING HEIGHTS DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE

 

[Deathmageddon]

Because it would be 10.000x better than eating those recipes.

No. I refuse to believe this exists. This is my refusing-to-believe-this-exists face. Because I refuse. There is no way. No. Just no.

This was featured on Tosh.0... it's real, bro

 

[karmachameleon]

Atlas Shrugged.
/flex.

 

[Berenzen]

Does the Necronomacon count?

Sorry bro, you have a lot to chew

Spoiler

It's about 900 pages long and a good 10cm x 25cm length and width.

 

[Dragonpit]

I'd choose Steamed, a romance novel by a local author here in Washington. A slight lack of conflict in this book makes me feel I'd enjoy it better as a meal.

 

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life]

I'm not sure. All I know is that I'd try to eat as little plastic and synthetic dye as possible. I know even normal paper is treated with some stuff you shouldn't eat, but it's better than plastic.

 

[karcentric]

Can I make the book out of cake or something first?

 

[The_Evermind]

I would eat Dune but it would probably be a bit dry. How about curing hunger pangs with The Hunger Games? Most likely I would eat a comic book though, not as bland.

 

[uzo]

"The Little Book of Calm", a la Manny on Black Books.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Well eating harry potter could, in very unlikely circumstances, give me magic... Worth a shot.

 

[Karthesios]

I'd think House of Leaves. The extra colors used for the type might provide more nutrients. Though the nightmarish hallucinations that would result from the book might not be worth it.

 

[drakvakt]

The Dead sea scrolls

If i'm gonna eat a book, it better be an important one. And I'll tell everyone that gets pissed off that MammothBlade made me do it

 

[Ix Rebound]

To kill a Mockingbird
seriously I hate that book

 

[Vanbael]

The Iliad, I am going to eat the first epic.

 

[YunaX]

Call of cthulhu. I've always wondered what demi-god tasted like.

 

[emeraldrafael]

Something with easily biodegradable paper.

 

[game-lover]

What would we get out of eating a book? Like would we have some weird, surreal absorption of knowledge or something?
