Book Collection! (Call for Input!)

[winged_knight]

I was going to have Wing make a Link post for this, but I don't think he's ready yet.

See, he loves his stories, historical or fictional. Drama, action, romance, philosophy... his interests are pretty varied, and he's curious as all hell. Plus with all these individuals from Earth he's feeling a bit out of the loop on their pop culture. He'd do better to just ASK someone for a primer on Earth culture, but well, that'd be way too easy.

So he's been collecting books, periodicals, and other forms of literature from the Junk Pile. And hoarding them in his room. And reading them all. (Thank goodness for optical zoom right? He has an old car antenna he turns pages with.)

I already know he's picked up a book on Arthurian legends and The Art of War by Sun Tzu (the title of which perplexed him and the content was definitely not what he expected.) He's likely picked up a few romance novels, too. FOR LAWLZ.

However, what he finds is pretty random, and rather than decide the rest myself, I put the fate of this poor mech's pop culture education IN YOUR HANDS!

So suggest anything you want here OOCly: books, magazine, newspapers, printed fanfic, whatever! Get creative! Give a vague description, make something up, or link me something on Amazon. Just as long as it's enough for me to get a feel for topic and content and then I'll let it seed my CR. (This has started a bit already, a few may have noticed)

If there's something you think would be cool to share in character, he WILL eventually make a Link post asking for books. Or you can stumble across him in the Junk Pile reading or maybe even at Vector's while refueling. Regardless let me know and we can discuss. :D

In the same post he'll probably go further to ask if there's interest in setting up a public library of sorts for the community. If that happens he'll likely donate most of what he's gathered to it, but I'm working up top that still.

THE GOOSEBUMPS COLLECTION

MAKE MY DREAM COME TRUE

*pretend this is whirl*

[sword_redemption]

Whirl wants Wing to find a Wreckers Declassified installment. It's not 'fanfic' in the fourth wall sense, but it is fanfic.

Also maybe one of First Aid's Primary Care fics.

And one of Megatron's old poems, esp if this happens after IDW Megatron apps in.

Whirl is a terrible robot.

[a_father_to_his_men]

The Chronicles of Narnia because they are classics

Also, he should find manga, maybe something like Magic Knight Rayearth XDD

[docbot]

Go the F*ck To Sleep

Because it's an amazing piece of literature.

Also, he might enjoy some poetry? Maybe some WWI and WWII collections? (Honestly I just think that High Flight suits him perfectly?)

Oh, and of course he needs to find extremely trashy TF doujin with magical glowing cocks, because doujin is not the same without glowing invisible penis :|

[vandalization]

Oh gosh maybe some classics? To Kill a Mockingbird, Of Mice and Men... or some kids books like Goodnight Moon.

(A copy of Go The Fuck To Sleep) EDIT: LOOKS LIKE I WAS BEAT TO THIS ONE LOL

He's also welcome to find datalogs from Dead Space universe, to put a personal tocuh on things. If you're interested, we can talk about it!

[angleofscience]

c: H.C Andersen stories/fairy tales, some folklore stories from around the world, the Journey to the West... And the Story of O (I can do trolling too!).

[raceme]

If he doesn't have 'the Princess bride' book I would cry. .3.

I second the 50 shades of grey for the lulz

[redshirtrobot]

A printed-out copy of "My Inner Life" by Link's Queen (with all the canon names and LoZ-specific terms changed to generic fantasy to prevent potential fourth-walling, of course). I'm so sorry.

Also the Illustrated History of Firearms and a Book of Aztec poetry and stories.

[heuristical]

Grey's Anatomy because ANATOMY, and for something that is actually a storybook, Frankenstein. God I love Frankenstein.

[idle_time]

No ideas on specific books (DISCWORLD!),

but if he's interested in Earth pop culture, he definitely needs to meet Wreck-Gar.

[aerospacecommander]

I'd also suggest "John Dies at the End" which is so full of crack, Wing won't know what hit him.

If you haven't read it, DO SO. It's like the best thing ever /biased as hell.
