What would you read? Frivolous line of questioning you say? I think not. You see this summer we are all Buggy About Books. As a result, I am arranging to have various species of insect serve as reader's advisors to the locals. Part of this process involves quizzing the staff on entomological literary tastes. This morning we considered the beetle. Here's what we learned:
Me: You are a Beetle. What do you like to read?
Irene: I don't know. Books about leaves?
Me: So... Leaves of Grass?
Irene: That's a poem.
Mary Poppins: It depends on what kind of Beetle you are. If you're a dung beetle, you'd probably read a lot of crap.
Me: So... Nora Roberts.
Random Patron: What if you're a B-e-a-t-l-e?
Me: Depends on which one. If you're George it's eastern philosophy, if you're Paul it's vegetarian cookbooks, if you're Ringo it's coloring books.
So I think we've learned a lot already.
Question: What would John read?
