Star Light asked 19:

Hey from New Zealand! I love your writing, thanks for sharing it with the world. It looks like your double name problem is fixed, (at least on this page); I laughed & commiserated with you about that because my full name is one word & some people are just morons about it. Anyway, my question is: if you could wipe a book out of existence, erase it from the past/present/future, what book would you choose?

19 Hello, dear!

Yes, I threw a tantrum in a lot of caps, and someone finally helped me get a SINGLE instance of my name displayed. I am very grateful, though I honestly will never understand why people can't just fix your customer service issue in so many cases UNTIL you get all Spartacus at them, but I digress...

Assuming we're omitting religious texts: The Scarlet Gospels, ostensibly by Clive Barker though I have my doubts about the authorship.

I don't even know what to do with mine. I can't bring myself to destroy a book and it was a birthday gift, but I don't want to donate it because then MORE PEOPLE WILL READ that dumpster-fire-behind-a-liposuction-clinic.

For now it eats space it completely does not deserve in my bookshelf, and makes me sigh every time I see it sitting there.

(hairball noise goes here)
