The hook currently given is misleading although the fact is correctly stated in the article. So I suggest this alternative: that per Modern Times, a San Francisco based bookstore collective, if there was only one book that you read in 1975 it had to be Canadian author and activist Helen Potrebenko's Taxi!? The length, newness and copyvio checks are clear. QPQ pending. Ashwin147 (talk) 20:19, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Added QPQ. I am good with the revision, though I would want to go with the original hook if possible. Ktin (talk) 02:19, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

QPQ done. The original hook still is misleading and therefore being struck through - the suggestion by Modern Times was for the one book to read from 1975, not that her 1975 book was the one must-read book for all time. Ashwin147 (talk) 18:04, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
