Jojo (jojosbooknook) | 717 comments I'm having trouble with picking one book! When I moved here 5 years ago I had to sell all my books and I only brought 8! But since then I have fallen in love with so many more!

Movie would be The Wizard of Oz
Food would be pasta.
I'm going to think on the book for a while!

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 800 comments Why the holy bible Tracy?


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

You're not crazy, Tracy. I would pick the Holy Bible, as well. If you think of it, it consists of 66 books. It covers history, romance, etc. This book will last you a long time to read & think about. It is also a book that I won't be tired of repeatedly reading certain parts. I can always learn new lessons, too. If I'm allowed a second book, I would have a journal to accommodate it. Otherwise, I would write my personal notes in it. If I can't have a writing utensil, I would still choose this. This book is something that I wouldn't mind to refer back to.

Food: Omelette with spinach, mushroom, tomato, and mozarella

I also thought of the bible, but not because I'm super religious or anything - it would just be long and thought provoking (and time-consuming) the way les misarables or art of war would be, which I also considered.
