Okay, I have been watching a lot of science fiction lately and and it has got me to thinking.
If a giant meteor came barrelling toward earth and we had only a limited amount of time and space to bring along items, what five books would you bring with you?
Here are my five.
1. Merriem Webster Pocket Dictionary
2. The Betty Crocker Cookbook
3. Bewitching by Jill Barnett (It's signed, like I'd leave it behind)
4. Idiots Guide to Gardening
5. John Maxwell's Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Feel free to ask my reasons on any of these. And before anyone makes judgement on my not bringing a bible, I know many others will and I can borrow one of them in exchange for the gardening book. See, I was thinking.

Oh, man, only 5? Okay...
1. The Thurber Carnival
2. Les Miserables
3. Tarzan the Untamed (autographed copy)
4. The Disciples Study Bible
5. The January issue of the Quarter Horse Journal (aka: the big book of studs)
BTW - Where are we going? And can I borrow your cookbook?
1. The Anarchist Cookbook (in case we need weapons and recipes)
2. Nutritional Healing (the BIG book of how to stay healthy if you don't have drugs)
3. 1001 Things Everyone Should Know About Science (in case we actually have to survive)
4. The Stand (just for fun)
5. War and Peace (to pass the time. I've never read it, but I assume that wherever we're going, we'll be there awhile.)
1.To Kill A Mockingbird
2.Lord of the Rings Trilogy (3 in 1)
3.My grandmother's 1908 book of bible stories
4.Les Miserables (stealing from gayle)
5.Bloomsbury County Babylon (five yuears of Opus). I'll need the laughs!
Mary, if you want to bring something else, I'll loan you my Les Miz if I can borrow your Opus! LOL
It's a deal, gayle! You'll need to bring a wagon to lug Les Miz around! :-)
Hard to choose..
1. Salem's Lot (LJ we can trade?)
2. DollsHouse Decor
3. Dutch Painting (We'll need beauty; can trade for a Bible)
4. Food Displays (dollhouse food to keep the mind occupied)
5. Janet Evanovich book (we'll need plenty of laughter)
Gahhh!!! My answer to this would change daily... I'm going to base it partly on what my compatriots are already bringing and just count on everyone sharing. IN no particular order:
1. The WIne Bible
2. Harry Potter series (in ONE big book, which I'll have specially bound to count as one book)
3. Time of the Dark Trilogy by Barbara Hambly
4. Yarrow by Charles De Lint
5. Survival Guide of some sort (how to live off the land)
Are we all going to be together? Got a small library going here already. I'd opt for an unabridged dictionary just for entertainment value. I'd need a good art history book, too. The Merlin Trilogy in one book, by Mary Stewart. John Seymour's The Forgotten Crafts. What else? How about a really good joke book?
