Actually Brave New World's true distaff counterpart is The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I'm not sure if 1984 has a twin.

Probably the Illuminatus Trilogy, but I haven't read enough of it to say for certain.  All four of them are pretty wooden though.

Weird, one of my coworkers was just telling me about that series the other day.  He described it as one of the most bizarre things he'd ever read... wooden, huh?

1984?

Maybe Farenheit 410?

Yeah, I guess it's just not my kind of literature.  It's all about conspiracy theory or something, but it just wasn't kicking with me.  When I say wooden though, I'm referring to all of the mentioned books, not (just?) the Illuminatus thing, so it's probably my taste in books talking.

I wonder what a wooden book looks like.

I wonder what Aqizzar would do when I say something obvious.

He would obviously reply obviously obviously.

Finished the Dwarven campaign.

Started up as Rohan. Going from Zero horses to Almost All Horses- A hell of a change. At least I can get rid of routing troops now.

All books are made of wood.
What about books made from Papryus and Parchment?

Parchment is totally made from wood.
And papryus is made from reeds. Ergo- Wood.

Parchment is animal skin, actually.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

Don't be silly. Everyone knows that sheep are made of wood. Therefore sheepskin=bark.
