You will be quarantined for fourteen days.
You are allowed to bring two books.
Those books will be your only source of recreation.
What would you bring?
Picture related.

Haha, don't get me wrong, I have no doubt that you did buy them. But they are also clearly books picked to 'trigger the libs' and get a reaction (or, if I'm being slightly more generous, are books that you picked to reaffirm your already existing political beliefs). I can't imagine that they would get you through two full weeks though. Maybe 2 or 3 days.

Anyways good luck to you.

I'm at a point in my life where I really don't care what random people think, especially people on the internet. The Fountainhead was recommended to me by someone who's opinion I consider and 12 Rules is something I've been wanting to read after listening to the author on talk shows and in lectures. My political beliefs lean to the left, ironically, so that is something that wasn't even a thought when I went to purchase these books. Plus I'll be doing a lot of working out and studying in-between my books so I'm sure they will last at least 10 days.

There's always the chance that I'm wrong in my assumptions. As I said, good luck to you anon.

The only book I would need is a blank one so I could write down observations, make doodles, and whatever else strikes my fancy. Why consume when you could create?
