I am again asking for those who would like to join the U.L.S.,the Underground Library Society, to join and write a guest post.
In an earlier First Year Class at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA, The U.L.S. — The Underground Library Society — was created. It is in the spirit of the Book People from Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. In that novel, all books have been banned, and a few people “become” books by memorizing them, in the hope that, one day, books will be permitted to exist again.
In that spirit, I am putting out the call once more for like-minded people to join The U.L.S. All that is needed is to choose a book you would memorize if the need ever arose. You do not actually have to memorize the book now. If you wish to join, simply write a guest post in which you say what book you would “become” and why.
I hope many of you choose to join.
If you do wish to do a post, please email me at frenchc1955@yahoo.com and write a guest post as a Word doc. Thank you.

I commend this effort as a devoted member of the UCSD Science Fiction Club in my undergrad days! I loved Vonnegut and Bradbury. This reminds me a bit of “The Guernsey Potato Peel Pie Society.”

Love this concept. I was just trying to think what book I would memorize. There are so many worth memorizing. And if I could memorize one, which one would I choose. I’m in and will join The ULS.

My first thought is that many of us authors might just want to embody one of our own books. My second thought is how I would pick a book by someone other than me to memorize. Third thought: I really ought to write a guest post here. Thanks for the opportunity, Charles!

Underground libraries might surface (🤫 again as even prior to Mr. Covid there has been a programme of library closures. Kindle etc cannot give on the sense or feel that a book does, so if I had to I would join an underground library…as a printer.
