21st Century Literature discussion

You can get one person to agree to read any book you choose. It can be a person you know or don't know (family, friend, politician, celebratory... no limits, but they do need to be alive).

Who do you pick and what do you have them read?

Trump, any book. Not being facetious here, but feel reading could open some latent empathy for him.

I would love it if my partner would read Cloud Atlas, my favourite book.

Leaving Trump free to choose could lead to him picking "How to successfully implement an authoritarian regimen" LOL

If I could choose anyone, my mum. And we'd read This Immaculate Body I feel like we'd have great debates!

I was thinking that about Trump, if he went for fiction it'd probably be Ayn Rand and he'd fancy himself a version of one of her 'despicable' heroes!

Trump would read Mario Puzo… The Godfather

Thanks! I got this and spoilt creatures for 99p each! Such a bargain. Guess this will be my wedding gift for Bezos and his wife.

Great! Love a bargain. And yes, Bezos and Lauren clearly need support so they can recover from the trauma of facing down those mean Venetians...
