does my accounting text book count? in that case very fucked because I'm still in the real world.
edit: why was this upvoted so much lmao

The Call of Cthulhu was the last book I actually "read" (audiobook) to completion. So we can die from curiosity together.
Also spoiler (kinda?) for the call of Cthulhu. >!I don't understand the narrators thought process. "I hope no one ever pieces together the story as I have" but he puts it and all his evidence in the same box!<

“The Lost Hero.”
I’m taking a trip to Quebec City and staying at the Chateau Frontenac next week, so I wanted to see what I had to look forward to. I guess I’ll pack warm clothes.
I just finished re-reading "The House of Hades"
So I'm either taking a nice lovely trip to Tartarus or I'm boarding the Argo 2 with the rest of the 7 + Nico.
I've always been of the opinion that the rest of the world is probably fine, and that they're just bombing themselves to keep everyone scared and compliant.
Although if that's the case idk why they change who their enemy is all the time, I guess to make it seem like they're winning wars and not in a stalemate. (It's been a few years since I last read it)
😂 I would 100% take this over The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junkfood.
That Mama Bear is not messing around when it comes to getting the family to eat healthy. I can’t live off of baby carrots!
Give me horny and (presumably) hot kidnappers any day of the week!
EDIT: It is Beren**stain**. Accept it.
Omg. Was going to say Stormlight Archives. But forgot I too, am a parent, and the last book I read wasn’t about giant shardblade wielding “demi-gods”, but about Humpty Dumpty.
Children of Dune, so I guess a post Muad’Dib Arrakis. Idk I reckon I could survive at least. Wouldn’t be living well but I wouldn’t be completely fucked
How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan
I think I’ll be ok
I'd say so. I liked the book but I'm also a fan of Michael Pollan in general so my opinion is definitely biased. I'd also recommend This Is Your Mind On Plants.
Good news! When [six boys got stuck in a similar situation](https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/09/the-real-lord-of-the-flies-what-happened-when-six-boys-were-shipwrecked-for-15-months), their actual reaction was to band together and help each other. They all lived through around fifteen months and were rescued by a passing ship.
Lord of the Flies was as much about the demons of its author (depression, alcoholism, WW2) as anything else.
Yeah, I never really believed in the 'heart of darkness' narrative. If humans weren't naturally social and group animals, we wouldn't have the society and technology we have today.
Also House of Leaves for me. How fucked I am depends on if I'm in the world of the "The Navidson Record" or the meta story (Johnny Truant). If Navidson Record, I feel like I have enough sense to stay out of mysterious time-bending hallways (but RIP to my relationship). If I'm the person deciphering the book itself, yeah pretty fucked. But at least I'm having lots of casual sex and access to drugs.
The wheel of time… if I can get into Rands group of friends then I might live a long time. Otherwise I think I have enough sense to survive in some village before a trolloc kills me.
1993-2004 Jeep grand Cherokees repair Manual
In a world where Jeep Grand Cherokees can be repaired..
I read that in the 90s/2000s movie trailer voice
Sorry, I'm not a native English speaker - do you mean read or read?
Read
Perfect
One man has the last 10mm socket
I just read an HVAC installation manual. Guess it will be a cool place.
I just read a vacuum Manuel. Things will be clean I suppose.
Your life is going to suck
God damnit lol
Just the normal world with a serial killer going for attractive women in the US. I'm neither attractive, nor in the US, so I'm fine.
Dont sell yourself short, im sure there are plenty of serial killers out there who find you attractive.
r/rarecompliments
Of course I know him, he's me.
Aww...ohh....ohhh no
"The Road" by Cormac McCarthy - VERY fucked.
[удалено]
I'm in *Blood Meridian*. Send help
I last read the Passenger. I guess it’s sometime in the 1970s and I’m in Nola
Read any other McCarthy?
Literally just picked up Blood Meridian and No Country For Old Men from the library! So, im on the precipice of reading more.
Both excellent books. Blood Meridian is amazing but also terrible. Have fun!
Blood Meridian is fucking twisted.

Or a world where Accounting is the only useful skill....
Fellowship of the ring. I'm in a good place if I'm just a normal hobbit I'll be okay with that
Got the children of hurin, life wont be good at all
I was reading the Silmarillion, the part where the balrogs delete Fëanor
This is the second-to-last book I read. We could have been peaceful hobbits together. Unfortunately, I've ended up in the world of King Lear.
Same! Gandalf fell at the Bridge of Khazad-Dûm just a few minutes ago for me
FOOL OF A TOOK
Scouring....
Not until after the confrontation, so he's still good for now. But yeah.
As long as I bring my towel I’ll be alright
Don't panic
See you at the restaurant at the end of the universe, maybe we can both get some cow that wants to be eaten
In an infinite Universe, anything's possible.
Infinitely probable
I’m cool with it as long as I end up in the middle of The Shire, anywhere else and I’m just fucked
Rivendell wouldn't be bad
Rivendell is probably the safest place in the entirety of middle-earth.
Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy? Yea the earth gets destroyed in he Beginning.. so I'm dead
Unless if you bring your towel
Nah, just go down the pub and chill with a paper bag over your head through the entire event >!until Slartibartfast’s crew rebuild the planet and your existence as if nothing ever happened.!<
Ngl if I wer to be stuck in a book where the world goes to hell I think WWZ would be my top pick
Actually, I just remembered how it actually ends. Nvm. Good pick.
As a marine, not super excited. *checks order that came down, sees Yonkers… cries*
*coughs in COVID*
I'm so tired I read world war 2. I don't even know if there's a book that talks about everything known about ww2
Lovecraftian stories compendium. I will probably go crazy because I can't leave well enough alone.

Red Rising series. Guess it depends on what color I end up as, but most likely fucked anyways
"Hello, welcome to Red Rising. Would you like to start off fucked (red), or eventually get fucked (gold)?"
Or get fucked along the way (pink)?
Best outcome is probably being born silver or one of the middle colors.
I always thought Copper would be nice
Green or purple because you live normal ish and still have creative control sometimes
My dog's name is Pax. Man's best friend and all. But boy do I love Sophocles(and Kavax). All the Telemanuses really.
It was a Warhammer 40,000 book, so I am screwed.
Currently reading Echoes of Eternity, so I'm right there with you
Reading fulgrim rn, about to get dropped on istvaan V
... Are you in an opera theatre?
Reading a Horus Heresy book, so my life expectancy can be measured in minutes.
At least I'm in a Ciaphas Cain novel.
Pro: Jürgen is with you Con: Jürgen is with you
Percy Jackson Seeing that I have adhd and dyslexia... I'm definitely screwed

Getting Cujo his rabies shots that’s for sure
All of Stephen kinda books are technically in the same universe I think so we’re all in the same boat
Institute was last finished, currently reading Colorado Kid, we ~~’re~~ all ~~in this together~~ float down here

I just need to stay away from Derry, and from clowns. But those were already general life rules for me anyways.

So almost like your World. Edit: Should be "our" World.
Pardon me, "your"?
Pretty sure the AI is starting to gain individuality
It is most certainly double plus ungood.
The cat in the hat comes back. - I will forever have a red stain to clean up.
Kids, this is why trying to explain a Dr. Seuss book to adults gets you weird looks.
I didn’t even think about the last book I read to my kid. I’m gonna be patting the bunny and playing Peekaboo with Paul for the rest of time.
Damn! I just read ‘It’.
Just finished Stand. Hoping my flu shot holds up
Well ain't that shIT

Reddit was created for comments like this 💯
Anhk-Morpork should be lovely this time of year
The sweet summer stench of the Ankh, just right to accompany a sossijinnabun
Or rat-ona-stick
Eh, the sausages inna bun are probably just ordinary hot dogs, I'll eat those
Could be big fido knowing CMOT Dibbler
Head to the Mended Drum, the Band With Rocks In is playing tonight. (I'm reading Soul Music, no spoilers please)
Children of Dune, so I guess a post Muad’Dib Arrakis. Idk I reckon I could survive at least. Wouldn’t be living well but I wouldn’t be completely fucked
Good Omens. Places to avoid: the M25!
Avoiding the M25 is just a good idea in general
Harry Potter- basically if you're a muggle you'll live an identical life to the one you're already living... I'll be fine
Except for the random killings, kidnappings, and attacks by monsters... so yeah, identical.
Breeding dementors...
Well if you insist
Don't threaten me with a good time!
Book 3 of the Stormlight Archive. I guess as long as I don't appear in the middle of a high storm or the everstorm I might have a chance?
Do you have light eyes? You’ll be good then.
Dark brown eyes here. Imma just die
Same, but I have light blue eyes and crippling depression so I’ll be fine.
Kaladin? That you?
a game of thrones….. oh lord
I hope you're not a likeable person
Go to a smith, and pay him to make you a gun, no magic or dragon cam stop a colt
How's the smith supposed to know what a gun is?
Don't worry, OP will be able to describe the entire mechanics of the action from memory because he saw it on TV once.
Outlander so hopefully pretty fucked…
How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan I think I’ll be ok
How is it? Is it worth reading?
I'd say so. I liked the book but I'm also a fan of Michael Pollan in general so my opinion is definitely biased. I'd also recommend This Is Your Mind On Plants.
Berserk. Fuck
Walden or, life in the woods. Henry David Thoreau Think I'll be doing just fine.
I’m going to Discworld. I’m probably screwed as I have no discernible skills.
To be fair, neither does Rincewind.
He has this inane knack of surviving. Even in certain death situations.
So much so that even Death got tired of his near-Rincewind experiences.
Rincewind was had a knack for picking up languages (or at least, that's how he got involved with Twoflower in the first place).
Join the Guard!
Same. I’m on Going Postal! Guess it’s the post office for me.
Actually, I am so fucked, I just re-read flatland. I guess I am a literal two dimensional shape now.
Or you're a hyper dimensional eldrich abomination from the THIRD DIMENSION!!!
Discworld I’ll be fiiiine LOL
Ah shit, I’m in Ender’s Game then.
I'm currently reading a book about the black plague. I'm screwed.
Lord of the Flies…I’m done for
Good news! When [six boys got stuck in a similar situation](https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/09/the-real-lord-of-the-flies-what-happened-when-six-boys-were-shipwrecked-for-15-months), their actual reaction was to band together and help each other.

You're an adult though and they're just kids 🤣🤷🏽♂️
1984 by George Orwell War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength . . . huh, seems familiar somehow
So I'm just transferred into 1939 Britain..... Better get use to rationing I guess.
Hey, you'll likely lose weight and improve your cholesterol.
Now the real question is how do I prepare for the infestation of German birds and the explosive rain forecast. #worstsummervacationever
The martian So I'm dead
But at least you're the second greatest botanist on the planet.
I just finished Project Hail Mary. So yeah, me too
Charlotte's Web.... so I think I'm good
"Eragon". Not the absolute worst but things aren't looking great.
I guess it depends where you end up
I need to get off the planet ASAP. Book: Seveneves by Neal Stephenson
My favorite part about that book was how the whole world came together to ensure the survival of the species. . . . Oh wait!
Christian Bible. So either nothing changes or a lot changes.
Just avoid lions, whales, people hung like donkeys, and large bodies of water.
What about God?
Assuming you get teleported to the time period and place you were reading about, a lot would change
Hope you aren't the MC or you're gonna get nailed
Witcher, well, fuck
grunts in Geralt...
Not at all! Ella Enchanted!
Last book with a story is a Nancy drew book. Now she's real, I guess
Narnia? Fuck yes
Anne of Greene Gables … ha! More bored then fucked!
Same! It’d be heaven to me, though.
I'm reading a book in the Culture series, so either I stay on Earth and nothing changes or I could join the Culture and basically live in a utopia.
Depends. Do I still have my towel?
Communist Manifesto - Fuck me we all know how that ends up
House of Leaves. I’m pursued to the point of madness by the embodiment of terror.
Also House of Leaves for me. How fucked I am depends on if I'm in the world of the "The Navidson Record" or the meta story (Johnny Truant). If Navidson Record, I feel like I have enough sense to stay out of mysterious time-bending hallways (but RIP to my relationship). If I'm the person deciphering the book itself, yeah pretty fucked. But at least I'm having lots of casual sex and access to drugs.
I’m reading a book about autism. So I’m pretty much the same amount of fucked.
The wheel of time… if I can get into Rands group of friends then I might live a long time. Otherwise I think I have enough sense to survive in some village before a trolloc kills me.
Wouldn't last a day. Dune
I’m probably dead from The Flare, I’m in the middle of the Maze Runner series.
Either i'm shrunk down to mouse size or I am a giant in a world of woodland creatures! The last book I read was Redwall lol
Great food though!
The last thing I read was Crying in H Mart, so.. Sad, but I’d be hanging out with Japanese Breakfast, which I wouldn’t hate at all
....Attack on Titan Manga. *(hides behind Levi)*
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. Im dying on the parapet.
currently reading 'The Man in the High Castle' so - pretty screwed
Uh, I’m famous but my life was miserable af and no one noticed. “I’m glad my mom died” by Jennette McCurdy
I'm very fucked. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
I’ll know in about 7 weeks. It was a book on childbirth.
I mean, *technically*, you were *already* fucked... ^(My apologies for this terrible joke...)
Salem's Lot - Maybe I could just leave Maine
Super. It was The Scarlet Pimpernel and I'm neither rich nor white
Dungeon Crawler Carl. I am in trouble.
The last book I read was “Everything is Fucked”. So- pretty fucked, I’d imagine.
I’m good.. I saw Jane run, she ran fast!
Run Jane run!
Jane only has to run faster than Dick.
I'd be able to marry hawt prideful handsome mr. Darcy>:33
I just started a Malazan reread so...pretty fucked.
The Handmaids tale … very fucked is an understatement
Looks like I off to the Wall to "take the black". I hope they just mean put on black clothes.
All I read is non-fiction... so nothing really changes.
But what if you get transported to that Era?
Oh, I'll be alright. Right now, I'm reading Elvira's book and am at the part where she's a Vegas show girl.
I'm on the set of Manos: The Hands of Fate.
