  1. We don’t burn books anymore, just entomb them. None of our customers can read, anyway.

  2. A blind woman had me read to her A Handmaiden’s Tale. Worst book ever. Anti Christian. Hypocrisy. The whole thing could be written about the climate change religion. Stream of thought, incredibly long sentence, incredibly long sentence, incredibly long sentence, incredibly long sentence, short sentence, incredibly long sentence, incredibly long sentence, incredibly long sentence, the meter took a good 1/4 of the book to catch on. Mary, the woman, thought the book is brilliant. Reading aloud I thought it was torture.
    Caption: “Honey, I don’t think this will pass the fire marshall’s inspection.”

  3. Something to use the tons of unsold copies of “Hard Choices” for, other than land fill compost.

  4. I knew this copy of “Hard Choices” would come in handy.

  5. n1 chris, you beat me to it by 1 minute.
    that said, mine’s much more pithy.

  6. Of course they have a unicorn stables and an electric car garage! California it is, doncha know?
    The daughter of a friend in PA lives in California – she was showing us photos of her sons’
    high school – palatial is an understatement. She said with pride that the school’s
    athletic facilities are so good that pro footballers come there to practice. She had no
    idea that this might cost money – and yet she herself has difficulty with employment –
    probably because of her (genuine) bad health – her two sisters are gainfully employed,
    one in the USAF.
    I’ve met a number of Americans this year who would all be enthusiastic supporters
    of Justin Trudeau if they had a chance. And I don’t associate with leftwards.

  7. We’ve also entrusted civilization and our post modern, moral relativist, utopian, apocalyptic world vision using the same flimsy building material.

  8. Well said!!
    Imagine an employee of Literati Cafe saying, “Of COURSE we have a library! It’s right over
    there, in the wall.”
    BTW the wall expresses the view of professional librarians, who actively dislike books. They like each other,
    sometimes, and electrons. They should all be replaced by sysadmins. In the (large) library of my own university
    there are only three persons with any brains – the University Librarian, another who shall be nameless, and –
    their capable systems programmer. Fortunately for them, their staff [i.e. nonprofessionals] are pretty good.

  9. Turns out, we DO need this thought control, but only if the Literai need a place to drink.

  10. Maybe some Liberals will be standing next to that wall when the next earthquake hits LA. Cheap Mortar and heavy books make a delightful combination.

  11. Correction:
    that should read
    “Another prick in the wall” by Dink Floyd.

  12. “The theme of the new Literacy Memorial echoes the theme of the Viet Nam Memorial, both mournful tributes to a war lost.”

  13. “I’m sorry, you can’t read that. It’s a structural paperback.”
    I pray those are merely the spines of the books in a facade. No way the actual books being used as bricks would be acceptable under L.A. building codes. One earthquake would produce a airborne cloud of pretension.

  14. For liberals, books are an affectation and nothing more.
    Secondly, the only use for any crap written by Margaret Atwood is industrial or mundane.
    Might I suggest doorstop?

  15. Our new wall will only have Obama autobiographies, 1 copy of each, regardless of who actually wrote them

  16. “Because the literati of the Left doesn’t actually -read-, you know. And besides, this way the f-ing hippies can’t steal them.”

  17. I warned you time after time: “You can borrow them, BUT BRING THEM BACK!”

  18. No longer content on burning books, liberals found entombing them to be a better solution.
