Saw an amusing conundrum on the interwebs the other day, it went something like this..
If you went on a first date with someone and during the course of the meal/drink etc. they let it slip the name of their favorite book. You immediately make your excuses and leave..
What was the book?
I thought about this and my first instinct was either the Bible/Koran/Torah but then on reflection it became obvious that many religious people might say this instinctively and most religious people aren't of the looney literalist kind. The next port of call for me was politics, Das Capital perhaps or the Conservative/Labour party manifesto or even something by the odious Diane Abbot, all questionable, but none of which would really be grounds for swift exit. I was left with the obvious one, Hitler's Mein Kampf, an anti-classic if ever such a thing existed you'd have to really look sideways at someone who's favourite book was that one.
