So, this is not about a book I dreamed about but rather elements of different books to make my perfect book.
The Cover: Red, all red. No title, blurb or author (ultimately they are unimportant and distracting elements of a book). The books difference makes it both inconspicuous and mysterious.
Genre: Dystopian with elements of political satire
Protagonist: Strong female who is not seduced by her many male suitors
The chapters would not be numbered but would be quotes that summed up the contents. The content would be a mix of poems, prose and pictures (all the best books should have pictures)
Ok, so this book does not actually exist (maybe I should write it) but these books come pretty close...
Trust Salinger to do it right!
Kafka's The Trail, political satire at its best, my favourite quote 'It's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves.'
Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll
A strong female character with great illustrations; an all round interesting read!
What would your dream book be?
Lots of Love
