Hyperion, The Stand, The Martian Chronicles.
Gonna Burn Hyperion — I’ve tried reading a couple of Dan Simmons’s books, and I’ve never felt satisfied with any of the writing. The Terror really pissed me off, and The Hollow Man left me feeling, well, hollow. While I’ve never read Hyperion, out of these three, this is the second easiest choice.
Read The Martian Chronicles — easiest choice. One of my favorite novels ever. Done.
Rewrite The Stand — While I love Stephen King, and I count myself as a Constant Reader, I’ve tried reading The Stand three times — three times! — and I can’t get into the goddamn thing. For whatever reason, Uncle Steve’s take on the apocalypse just starts out goddamn preachy and overly obviously of what’s GOOD and EVIL and who is GOOD and BAD and I just can’t. Add in the fact that it’s hella long — hella motherfucking long — and I would Rewrite this novel in a heartbeat. Make it leaner, make it more ambiguous, make it a little less God and Devil.

Let’s play Burn Read Rewrite.
It’s like Kill Fuck Marry, but with books.
Put three books in my ask.
Really. REALLY REALLY. Really please do this.
Put three books in my inbox. Three titles. I will pick which one I Burn, which one I Read, and which one I Rewrite.

Are you ready for the final night?
Night Four is how the video begins, and proceeds into Night Five. But will I make it through Night Five? Can I outwit Freddy Fazbear? Good lord, do I freak out a lot in this video or what?

What’d you think? You just get to skip half the game and nobody gets hurt?

So: it’s another round of me playing Five Nights at Freddy’s. This time I make an attempt to get through all five nights; part one saw me pussying out after only Night One. In Part Two, I start all over, from Night One onward. Do I make it all the way? Will I put Freddy Fazbear in his place?
There is one more part after this video….

For those of you who are late nighters, perhaps you’ll enjoy this video in which my best friend iamtheejenna and I decide it’s a good idea to take Five Nights at Freddy’s for a spin with her at the keyboard, and me attempting to guide her through. Needless to say, not all goes as planned.
