Odd impulses

[mirrorshard]

I'm getting a really disturbing urge to read Atlas Shrugged, and I'm almost sure there's a copy on the bottom shelf at the foot of my bed. This is either some sort of weird hallucination (am I really posting to LJ? Am I dreaming I'm a butterfly?) or prima facie evidence of demonic possession.

Advice? Recommendations? Exorcisms?

Coincidentally, I've been having the strangest urge to read Mein Kampf of late. I thought it was just due to my usual desire to know what the fuss is all about, but perhaps there's a bad book demon doing the rounds of London?

It seems a worryingly plausible theory. Especially given that there actually was a copy of Atlas Shrugged where I thought there was.

It's been years since I attended/assisted a really good exorcism! Which do you prefer - pagan banishing at athame-point, or good old-fashioned bell, book and candle? Of course, for a bad book demon it really ought to be reading down....

Don't. I tried. It's like reading commenters on dailymail.co.uk.

It's pretty unreadable. I gave it a go when I was fourteen.
