Random Question..Keep posting

[Nifty]

If you had the choice to a) never see another human being in person ever again, but have access to all the books ever written or b) see anyone you want whenever you want but have no books at all, which would you choose?

I know my place in the world and that my wife @SuperReaderGirl would choose A

 

[SuperReaderGirl]

Lol. Not necessarily, honey. It would be a difficult decision, but I think I am now at a point where I would PROBABLY choose B.

Anyway, to answer Sniffley's question:

To plagiarize H.G. Wells, which three books would you take?

I really don't know since I tend to not re-read books.....Maybe the Worst Case Scenario Survival Guide and an edible plant identification guide and.....some really long book I've always intended to read, but never got around to....War and Peace?

Same question again.

Perhaps a few evenings with Jenna Elfman would make me forget my loss.

Anyhoo....three books to the future? A photobook of the flora and fauna of the world, The Foxfire Book, and the SAS Survival Handbook. I am anticipating a distopian future.
