My catalog would have to be a library catalog.

Nabokov. I'd check him out for a week or two just to tickle him silly. He was far too serious.

I'd go fishing with Thoreau but I'd trick him by buying the $16 a box worms and then I'd laugh myself stupid when he lectured me on simple living.

Dostoyevsky I'd keep for a while just so I could hide in odd places and jump out at him yelling BOO and GOTCHA!

Shakespeare....the man who wrote the book on writing. Tragedy, romance, comedy, drama. I would lick him up one side and down the other until I absorbed it all like toad toxin and began to see visions.

Tom Robbins and I would not be allowed to play together lest we light up the sky with ridiculous fireworks. I wouldn't check him out. I'd steal him and set him free but only after an extended period of friendly debauchery.

I would consider a brief stint of lesbianism with Jane Austen, but only so that I could coax the secret of where the real Mr. Darcy lives from her.

I would lock all the self-help books in the basement so they can't do any more harm.

So many books....so little time.

Hold up - do we have to marry these guys once we buy them, or is shackin' up acceptable?

Faira,

They are your property. Do with them what you want. You can dress them up ... feed them, whatever ...

Jayjay, I liked your idea about the expiration date, LOL!

I'd also like a toll-free number printed on the user-friendly instruction manual -- a 24/7 hotline for trouble-shooting problems with our new partner:

Equipment malfunction? Call the hotline.

Boundary issue? Call the hotline.

Financial disagreement? Call the hotline.

Not enough sex? Call the hotline. Um. Yeh. Maybe that's just for the men...

We started out with orange arrows saying 'good guy'....and have progressed to adhesives and feeding and dressing them up.
