Re: One book for the rest of your life
The largest unedited collection of Aleister Crowley's writings on magick I can find. Not only is he funny and entertaining, maybe with nothing else to do I'll be able to get it to work

Hm.
I have no good answer to this.
Re: One book for the rest of your life
Me neither. That's why I asked the question. ;-)

Re: One book for the rest of your life
Well, it is like being asked what album you'd like to listen to over and over for the rest of your life. Slow readers would have the advantage over those of us who could plow through 100+ pages a day. You want something big, and probably practical. Most would probably go for either the religious text of their choice or a one volume encyclopedia.

Album is easier, The Fragile.

Heck, assume your private island has unlimited shelf space. Want to bring along the large-print unabridged edition of À la recherche du temps perdu? Knock yourself out.

Hey, you like Star Trek.
I think my book would be Anathem or John Dies at the End. Anathem because it's my favorite of the long books I like, JDatE because it's funny, and that might be nice.

I'm sooo looking forward to the thread where we talk about what famous person, living or dead, we'd want to have dinner with.
Followed by if we were animals, what kind would we be.
Re: One book for the rest of your life
Well just fuck me right in the eye for tryin' to strike up a conversation.

A fucking Kindle, we live in the future.
Barring that, the biggest cookbook I can find.

Kindle.
Or some 2500-page crap that takes forever to read anyways.

I'm thinking something along the lines of the Ranger handbook, or the SAS survival manual. I'm a pragmatist.
Re: One book for the rest of your life
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If I'm going to be stuck on an island, I might as well find something to laugh about.
