It read, 'Fahrenheit 451.'

[End Notes] Well, can you think of a book that could picture anything worse
than that for Yomiko? The girl just ain't right in the head when it comes to
books. ^_^ And I admit to taking liberties in her powers, and implying she
had the ability to control the paper to the degree that she could force the
ink to slide off it, but I thought it worked better that way, especially
with the symmetry with the dead body she mentions earlier and Wendy's
actions at the end matching Yomiko's comparison. Consider it literary
license.]
 

It was great right up to that line. I'm not sure what I would
have picked, but it CERTAINLY wouldn't have been that
one. I LIVED in libraries while growing up. You could go into
the library, pick ANY three books at random, and my name
would be on the cards of two of them. I can see no reason at
all why Fahrenheit 451 would effect anyone who loved
books in any way but positively.

If I did pick a book, it would probably be something by
Gregory Benford. Why? Because EVERY SINGLE
book he's written that I have read start out good, become
great, then become COMPLETE CRAP. Every single one.
It's so frustrating to start out with a good book that draws
you in and slowly gets better, only to leave you in horror
as you watch it suddenly slip away to some of the worst
dregs of offal imaginable.

If you do read a Gregory Benford book, for the love of God,
STOP about two thirds of the way through. Just make up
your own ending - I guarantee it'll be better than the real
ending.
