Board "perk up" poll
If you were headed off to another planet because Earth was no longer able to sustain life, and you could only bring 5 books with you, which books would you choose? (This is non negotiable. You must go, and you can only bring 5.)

These Happy Golden Years- Laura Ingalls Wilder
In my imagination, in this hypothetical new world we would still all be able to keep in touch, so I figure as long as between all of us we have a full set of Harry Potter, then we're good to go! I could re-read the series over and over and over again.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Outlander
The Bronze Horseman
The Art of Happiness
The Night Circus
The Chronicles of Narnia (Yes, I'm counting this as 1 book)
Gimme the big, fat books with all the feels.

and

One space saved for a book I've never read but have heard amazing things about.

Pride and Prejudice
National Geographic 125 Years: Epic Journeys, Landmark Discoveries, Photographs that Changed the World (because I would want to remember Earth and be able to explain Earth to the inhabitants of the new planet)
A book of fairytales, so they are not forgotten when Earth is abandoned.

52 Books in 2014??
My sweet babies:
HOLLOWED OUT. Inside, waterproof matches, iodine tablets, beet seeds,
protein bars, NASA blanket, and, in case I get bored, "Harry Potter and
the Sorcerer's Stone." No, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban."
Question: did my shoes come off in the plane crash? (er... space ship crash...)
I don't think there's been an actual crash though. This is just for the trip there.
Well Dwight is prepared no matter the situation.
