In a fictional scenario where you get to keep just one book the rest of your life, which book would it be?
And no borrowing or lending either. Sorry. : )

The Illiad by Homer. It’s all in there.
Book? You mean like paper book? I don’t even use those anymore.
Great sex for the over sixties by Ivor Ardon.
I’m going to need it eventually so it’s gotta be a keeper.
Harry Potter 3. Its soothing, fantastical nature would help me cope with this reality where I cannot read anything else.
Simple :) I’d pick The Bible. Don’t need more.
I’m trapped on a deserted island right? A book of matches then.~
The Bible, most definitly. There are a myriad of stories to read in it.
Hopefully by the end of my life I will come to understand its meaning/message.
Karma sutra or Steppenwolf or Demian or romance of the three kingdoms… I don’t know, there’s so many to choose from!
I’ll let you know when I finish the Discworld Series.
The Collected Works of William Shakespeare.
I’d choose an enchanted book.
Just one book, forever?
Uhm…
How could I choose?
I suppose the omnibus edition of Lord of the Rings.
Do I have a computer? I don’t need any books…
As Man Thinketh by James Allen
I don’t know, but it would have to be a picture book. Either a porn mag or an illustrated encyclopedia about diseases.
In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust.
The Bible, just because I’ve never read it. I always promised myself I would, but every time I start, I get bogged down in Exodus.
Probably Overqualified by Joey Comeau.
I have a lot of favourite books that I love just as much, if not more (and I hesitate to pick the one of them that is so short!) but I’ve gone back to it the most and foresee myself wanting to go back to it quite a few more times in the future.
I would take the dictionary… and an endless supply of paper and pens so I could write down all my favorite stories.
