It would have to be my bible, based on my faith and my love of God,besides the bible is full of all kinds of stories :) but, if I was given 2 choices, my second one would be Gone with the Wind, Call me sentimental but I don't think I will ever get tired of that movie/book!
Of course I might would change my mind if you could put an entire ecyclapedia addition in one volumn book, I might change my mind.

& you could take only 1 book with you, what would it be & why?!?
I would take War & Peace for the obvious reason that it's reallllly long, & I've never read it before!

hello all, im new here and have got fibro, im in a sever flare and reading, when i can hold, a book is just delicious! Wether it helps me refect, challenges me, tickles me, saddens me or just helps me escape for abit, i could eat a library for tea!
Anyhoo id take any book by Richard Brautigan, that 60's trippy poetic ppy dippy lovely man, ive tried to read his books before and i cant quite get into the flow, so id take him along, his poetry is quirky, love it.
((hugs)) to all -

I would definitely say my Bible! With this book I'm never alone and I have many friends is this book as well. There is always shelter, food, and clothes. As promised. This I know from reality. There are many other books stored in my brain. Love to all Dave -

The Bible, of course, because every time you read it you find something new or it speaks to you differently.
But it that was a given and I could have another one, I would take Pride and Prejudice and try to memorize it. -

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I am in awe at the literary merrit of this work. Having read it several times, the first time being in high school myself, I still can not put my brain around how dense it is with connections and symbolism. How did he do it? And, it moves me to anger and sadness each time, even though I know the story so well. -

Something by ALbert Camus, or Fredrick Neizsteich, or Jean-Pual Sartre . . . something along those lines i guess lol.
