You suddenly die, and you discover what lies beyond this mortal world.

The last book you read serves as your personal Book of the Dead and reveals the Truth about the Universe and the Afterlife.

Last book I finished was Literature and Revolution. Guess I'll be hearing Trotsky laying into contemporary socialist /lit/, the relative value of pre-revolutionary bourgeois art, and what the Communist future holds - forever. Not sure how I feel about this.

Muslims, Christians and Hindus are all right at the same time. To get to the afterlife you must travel in a lifeboat on the pacific from India to Mexico with a giraffe, a hyena, an orangutan and a Bengal tiger.

Good thing I haven't finished A Canticle for Leibonitz yet.

Unfortunately, I didn't finish either of the books I was reading before it - Lilith by George MacDonald and The Kind of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany - either of which would have made for a good afterlife. Shame they're incredibly boring to read.

... and fucked if I can remember what I read before that.

But if we can could manga volumes as books I win at the afterlife forever, because I just finished reading volume 11 of Aria. Endless happiness, here I come!
