This is the first of many random ideas that are too involved for me to pull off, or which I’m too busy to work on, but which I want to release to all of you.
The idea is to slip scents into appropriate parts of books. My original thought was cologne in romance novels, selectively dosed on the steamiest pages. Think of it as literary Smell-O-Vision.
The main barrier to doing a full project on this is the difficulty in documenting the results. It’s hard to subtly stalk a book buyer or borrower around with a camera until they get to juuuust the right passage. Should that stop you from greatly expanding the sensory depth of a book? Hell no! So go out there and improve someone else’s reading experience.
Am I brainhacking/scentbombing library books right now? It’s possible…
