This item is not in the library — it is a part of: C. Cardew (ed.), Nature Study Notes (full, 1969).
Take a stupid book. A reader reads aloud from it while the rest improvise. The role of the reader may wander
a) through the reader presenting the stupid book to someone else, and
b) by someone wresting the stupid book from the reader.
A reader may attempt to terminate proceedings by ceasing to read aloud from the stupid book.
Notes
Stupid Book Rite. To end, stronger measures may be necessary, eg. Destruction of the SB.
