Colin Jacobs Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Ok you suddenly meet an alien from outer space. they say "Take me to your bookshop" What would you buy the alien to help him learn about the Human Race? My choice would be The Downing Street Years, By Margaret Thatcher. so when the aliens take over the world they will not make the same mistake as she did:roll: Edited January 27, 2009 by Colin Jacobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Lol Colin, you come up with the most original questions Perhaps something like The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire then when they'd all fallen asleep through boredom, we could overpower them and send them packing.

Nollaig Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I wouldn't give them a book. I'd say, 'K-pax or gtfo.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andaira Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I wouldn't give them a book. I'd say, 'K-pax or gtfo.' I agree with that one Great question, Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I was just thinking about War Of The Worlds and was just about to post it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewell Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Definatley K-pax. But i'd tell them it was a real life story (which would be easy as it's written that way) and see their reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Is K-Pax a book?? I thought it was only a movie O_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewell Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 A book. It's actually a trilogy. Brilliant read. Couldn't put the books down. I read from beginning to end almost none stop. I would recommend them to anyone, even aliens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Ohhhhh man this is gonna throw my amazon shopping list outta whack. I gotta have those books. I loved the movie - and thought the only similar book was the kid's book Del Del (which involves a little boy being possessed by an entity claiming to come from another planet.)

Colin Jacobs Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Stephen Hawkings book on the black Hole. I can imagine the aliens laughing at his theory just like the Smash Aliens in the TV advert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
