Leonard Lopate played the Fahrenheit 451 game (which book would you choose to memorize) with callers on today's WNYC dot ORG show. [Audio link will be available tomorrow.]
Lopate contemplated how a person's choice would reflect upon the individual. I was wondering what impact the literature would have upon the person memorizing. How would a head full of Hemingway shape a person over a lifetime? Could you recogzine a Walt walking down the street?
Emily Dickinson was mentioned as a second of third chioce. T.S. Eliot was also mentioned, not as a selection, but as something the caller has memorized. Everyone assumed Shakespeare would be taken care of. I think that was all for poetry.
