s/o reading

If you were going to be sent to the space station (I'm tired of the desert island), and could only bring one book (that you've already read) what book would it be?

  • Hm... okay, say you can bring 2 books, then.

    I have these 4 weeks coming up and I don't want to read just any book.

    Hmmm... it's more difficult for me to pick a second one.  I'm thinking The Poisonwood Bible, though.

    Too depressing for a jaunt in space.

    Less depressing than GWTW.  And it gives me so much to think about, which is probably something I'd want when I'm in space.

    How about GWTW and Rhett B's Peeps, then?

  • The thought of a modern retelling with the title of "Rhett B's Peeps" has me cracking up!

    Mine too.  AND I've never read GWTW either.  

    I dont think I could pick 1 book.  I suck at games like this!

    I think I read this years ago and remember really enjoying it.  

  • Can I count the Lord of the Rings trilogy as one book?  It's often published all together.  That's probably what I'd choose.  It's engrossing, it's deep, there's lots to imagine and consider.  A story that only gets better in the rereading.

    For the situation where I'm hypothetically stuck somewhere with no access to more books, I'd choose something really heavy and meaty, with lots to discover.  Other books that would make my short list are Crime and Punishment, Anna Karenina, and Les Miserables.

    I haven't read this one, but from others I know who have, The Count of Monte Cristo might also go on my list.

    Wow, I forgot about that book.  So good!

    Me too!  It's on my bookshelf, though.  Very good.
