Some of the characters in the story are able to read things out of books, a bit like what Mo can do in Inkheart. If I could take things out of books, here are my top 10:
1 - My own dragon from Anne McCaffrey's Dragonflight, because I love flying ;
2 - My own fire lizard from Anne McCaffrey's Dragonsong, because I love music;
3 - A lightsaber from one of the Star Wars novels like Splinter of the Mind's Eye by Alan Dean Foster, because they are just so cool;
4 - A car - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang from Ian Fleming's book, so I wouldn't get stuck in traffic jams;
5 - A wand from Ollivander's shop in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, so I could practice spells;
6 - My own robot from Isaac Asimov's I, Robot, because it could walk my dogs for me while I am at school all day;
7 - A bottle of the healing elixir that Aslan gives Lucy in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S.Lewis - no more doctor's visits;
8 - A carpet bag from Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers, so I wouldn't ever need to pack more than one bag for vacation ;
9 - An origami unicorn from Philip K. Dick's book, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, because I have never been able to make one that turned out looking right;
10 - And finally, I would need a place to store all this stuff, so I would like the castle from Dianna Wynne Jones's Howls' Moving Castle.
If you could read things out, which objects would you choose from which books? Post a comment, I'd love to see some other ideas. ;-)
