Can a book save your life? No, literally, can it stop a bullet?

You'll want to know these sorts of things if you've lived in some of the neighborhoods I have. Kevlar is expensive. But padding your body with about 50 copies of thousand page tomes might work in a jiffy.

That's why Electric Literature (an online site of short fiction) decided to test if any girthy 2010 releases could save you from dying. It turns out one book was made for parts of Fitchburg.



Or save your money and just buy any book by Dickens at a thrift shop. That man made literary Kevlar for forty years.
