After refusing to watch american blockbustibng movies I finally yielded and obtained "The Day After tomorrow" from the Video shop. It confirmed all the reasons why I swerve these films. One man crosses the Ice waste to help his son, whom he thinks can't fend for himself, in the meantime the futile mission claims the life of his "friend". Son manages to scale a convieniently placed boat on 42nd street at temperatures of -50 degrees, without gloves! clinging to steel ladder rungs! to find, in this massive boat some penicilin!
ANYWAY! in order to stay alive they burn books at the library.

Which book/s would you burn first, and which would you save?

I would burn my Btec Engineering books- Electronics (load of tosh) Pascal (who uses that?) etc

I would keep The complete works of Edgar Allen Poe.

Pascal on VMS machines is still used in specialist realtime systems in the city although they are slowly being replaced.

I would burn the Faber & Faber paperback esition of the screenplay to 'Day After Tomorrow'.

I would preserve 'The Life of Pi' for inspiration to survive and struggle on.
