a lonely book
a living book whose pages are skin and whose letters are schitzopodal
eye-stalks
a crystalline book whose pages are flexible and whose words are
microscopic and circulate in transparent cappillaries
a gigantic book which is actually a city, whose pages are towering
apartment building and whose rowdy denizens are each a signal
an extremely dumb book made of soggy pancakes squashed in the road
a fake book, a book of tromp l'oeil bookness
a dirty book, full of dirty pictures, about dirt, of the soil
an elastic book, whose pages are stretched to interminable limits
a book of ultimate density which cannot be moved, the unmoveable book
the omphalos book, the original immortal book at the bottom of the ocean
an intelligent book, which can be anything at all, including what once
was called a god/dess
a sticky book, so sticky that once you have touched it extrication is
impossible even with death
a ridiculous book, a book so silly and full of self-ridicule its pages
are permanently wrinkled in disorder
a book of swamps, where alligators leap from the pages to devour
hapless readers
a dead book, this corpse book is a post-mortem narrative of its own
necrescence
a holographic book which you can step into and exit in the future or
the past but never return
a supple book, a book whose surfaces are highly eroticized and cause
sensual dilemmas and great bibliophilia
a book of sentient nanomite chromophores whose bodies create undulating
AI glyph dreams
an asexual book, this book multiplies and copies itself until all the
space in the universe is used up utterly
a book of condensed flame, anyone attempting to read this book beside
the king of djinns will be consumed in fiery demolition
the walking book, this book has legs and runs towards you reading
itself aloud though you protest mightily
a new book, a very new book, a book which hasn't existed until NOW!
