Fahrenheit 451 question

Perhaps Fahrenheit 451, itself

The Little Prince.

Animal Farm

good question. i would probably have to say the entirety of the one piece series

Probably a classic, even though I like more modern books some books just need to be rememberd

Tao Te Ching: A Book about the Way and the Power of the Way

I would need the enhanced biotech to be able to remember the entirety of any book. If I had that ability, I would begin by remembering and memorizing John Muir's Wilderness Essays. Then, I would memorize Fox and I: An Uncommon Friendship and continue memorizing favorites. There is a man who once memorized 2,000 books. Humanity can do this already with brain mapping and genetic engineering. Computational neuroscience. Welcome to the new era! Great question!

The language in The Great Gatsby is incredible. I'd probably memorize that...

Animal Farm. Brilliant book and well written. And a story worth memorising.

honestly... the song of achilles!!

Alice and Wonderland is so underrated

The collective works of Dorothy Parker

For now I can say Veronika Decides To Die. It opened my eyes when i first read it. It can be Fahrenheit 451 too. They are both so valuable to me.

Maze Runner Series

i feel like The Brothers Karamazov is a pretty good choice considering the variety and importance of its text, but at least for me it would be quite impossible to memorize....

The Human Experience: Poetry Volume I

The play "Romeo and Juliet"!

Anything Audrey Gray

Lonesome Dove

Well if you’re in a group with a large amount of people who all have a different book, maybe you would want a less known book? The book I would pick would be one called Private Peaceful.

Hamlet

Song of Achilles

The bell jar

The Old Man and The Sea

The Awakening by Kate Chopin

I loved Farenheit 451. I would memorize 1984. I love that novel. It give us so much to consider in the ways of how governments can and do take over, affected things we believe are unaffectable. I also loved the word usage and the way George Orwell showed how history and words can be twisted, changed, and re-defined to suit the needs of the other side. (Though I'd also consider memorizing Perfect by Cecelia Ahern)

I would likely choose my favorite Johnny Got His Gun, or my second favorite The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The Count of Monte Cristo

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by Victoria E. Schwab

There are so many.. but if I choose one that I believe will help prevent future generations from making the same mistakes, and that encompasses multiple viewpoints, I would say The Handmaid's Tale.

War and Peace

I suspect the world would look different if we saw it without the names we have given everything. Perhaps meaning would finally breathe on its own, without our interference.

The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Lord of the Rings.

11/22/63

Maybe The Book Thief

Coming up for Air by George Orwell truly did change my perspective on life, so probably that one.

little women no doubt

Tuesdays with Morrie for sure.

The Count of Monte Cristo.

Harry Potter series

The Shadow of the Wind, I guess, or maybe The Angel's Game. The first one is surely one of my all time favourites, but I may relate to the second one more, in a way. It's a hard choice, but probably one of these two.

The Myth of Sisyphus, it gave me a completely new perspective and mindset! The opening page saved me from very dark thoughts.
Candide by Voltaire would be a close second!

I think my answer would vary with my mood. Right now, I'd say The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Attwood or It Can't Happen Here by Sinclare Lewis. Conditions that would demand such a commitment would probably be totalitarian, and both of these books warn about its consequences.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy or The House On Mango Street. I read both in high school and funny enough not a lot of people enjoyed Mango Street but I felt some connections to the book so it seemed more important to me. Another book I can't forget is Inside Out & Back Again by Thanhha Lai.

more of an essay, but why socialism by albert einstein. it would be easy since its only 5 pages and I think it only becomes more relevant to society every day.

Easily a Clockwork Orange but The Book Thief is a close second.

It's a good question, but I'm pretty sure I would choose THE SONG OF ACHILLES

More of a story but I would like to properly memorise the myth “Orfeo and Euridice”

I can't think of one. How about a short story or a long essay? Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is an ass kicker. He packed knowledge and facts into it without a library or the internet at his disposal.
