I want to thank Josh Fisher for his guest post for the ULS, the Underground Library Society. Please check out his blog JDFISHER840 .
If for some reason, some entity decided to make books illegal, I would be hard pressed to pick but one. I would have to pick The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien. This book is a fictional book about a squad or element that is fighting in Vietnam.
Tim O’Brien goes into many details about fighting, living and surviving in a war that he did not wish to fight in, but he did not have a choice. The book tells numerous war stories about this controversial war. The stories are just that, stories.
This is a work of fiction about Vietnam but it is also a book about writing and telling stories. This book is something I will always love and will always be a book that I recommend to other people to read.
This is the book I would become.
I have never heard of the underground library society. It markets me wonder about rescues of people being deprived of books. Nice Vietnam share.

The Underground Library Society, or ULS, is an unofficial organization that I created for one of my college classes. All are welcome to join. It is based on the book people from Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. All that is needed is to choose what book you would choose to become, to memorize if books were banned. I invite guest posts.

Now I understand. I love the
concept. Books can be personal and definitely expose a person’s ideas. Interesting.

Thank you for the great advice. Let us hope books will never become illegal, but history tells different things. Michael
