Hvis man hellere vil læse bøger, så:

- tag med Jules Verne rundt om jorden på 80 dage,
læs eventuelt britisk science fiction her,
opdag Huxleys fagre nye verden,
læs Stevensons Skatteøen,
eller Defoes Robinson,
mød en anti-kirkelig, men amerikansk religiøs,
eller en tysk ateistisk og anti-kristelig filosof - der lod sig inspirere af sidstnævnte anti-kirkelige religiøse
eller en af verdens første politologer?
eller måske i stedet en kinesisk krigsteoretiker?
hvad med en engelsk journalist,
eller en naturalist?
måske en teatermand?
eller en fransk romantiker ved navn Hugo?
- hans franske kollega Dumas?
Eller en skotsk romantiker ved navn Scott?
Og måske som en slags modvægt - en spansk satiriker ved navn Cervantes?
eller en græsk eventyr-digter kaldet Homer?

COIN anbefaler i særlig grad bøger af Frank Spearman - navnlig Whispering Smith samt The Daughter of a Magnate.

- Og sidst, men ikke mindst, hvad så med en ordentlig og langtidsholdbar forfatning?

In Berlin, Germany in the year 1938, wealthy socialite Baruch Wane learns from his friend komissar Garten that the police have confiscated the library, works, and notes of Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises, due to his stance against the Nazi Party policy of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. Unbeknownst to Garten, Baruch is actually the mysterious Batman who has been terrorizing the wealthy members of the Nazi Party. [...] The following night of his visit with Garten, Baruch suits up and heads down to the trainyard in order to steal back Mises's works. He tries to stop the train, but when Garten's men surround him, he instead blows up the train so that way Mises's works and ideals do not fall into the wrong hands. - Read more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Berlin_Batman.
