If books were doors, here are 8 places they might lead
Eight books and eight secret escapes.
Books are so often a means of escapism, but what if they were literally an escape route to a secret room?
That’s the question with which imaginative Twitter user Becky Cloonan has tasked her followers.
Here are eight of the best answers.
1. A classic piece of literature by Tarō Gomi for a route to one of the simpler joys of life.
2. Douglas Adams for a way to store “the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have”.
3. Some William Faulkner, for a place to make some noise.
4. An autobiography, to ensure nobody discovered it.
5. Some raunchiness from EL James, for deception.
6. An ancient Chinese military treatise to shield a secret vigilante identity.
7. A mountaineering textbook to help you get to a place where you can practice.
8. A book leading to more books.
Because books are so often the only escape you need.
And beer.
