The Phantom Tollbooth
Discuss this amazing, hilarious, fantastic, fabulous, and awesome book.
I have been robbed of my rightful secret moderator powers! Vote here to help me get them back!
I love this book.
I view it as the "Alice in Wonderland" of the English Language.
I'll explain:
All of the Alice books take mathematical principles and change them up, throw them around, and just have fun with them. The Phantom Toll Booth did the same sort of thing, except it took advantage of the ambiguis and pun-ridden language that we know as Modern English.
Brilliant book. One of my absolute favorites.
