Casual Readers discussion

If you were sent into exile and were allowed to take only FIVE books with you, what would those be?

Cindy would a book series count as one? It should do,lol. If not that a very hard answer. I'll have a bit of a think.

Yes, this question just popped up in my head and I am still pondering the answer. I guess a series would be fair game, but each book in the series counts against the five. Hard isn't it?

I would bring

Interesting Julia. I am working on mine, but I know that a Bible would be one of them. That's one that you can never get enough of.

The Bible for comfort, hope and faith and Calvin & Hobbes for some humor.

Yes, must have a good mix.

I've got Winter Garden waiting to be delivered Julia, it sounds like a really good book.
Wizard and Glass would be no.1

Mistborn Trilogy Boxed Set
Its a box set so maybe that's one but if not then Mistborn: The Final Empire would be no.2

The Eight no.3

The Fifth Elephant: (Discworld Novel 24) by: Terry Pratchett maybe no.4

I'll have to think some more for my no.5. Its hard to pick!

Angie - If you read 'Winter Garden' have tissues close by...
I've read it a couple times and have needed tissues every time.

I would take
The Pact-Jodie Picoult
Beyond Belief- author unknown (about the moors murders)
Velocity - Dean Koonz
Any shopaholic book by Sophie Kinsella
Any touch of frost book by R W Wingfield.

Sorry I can't figure out how to create link to books on iPhone

The Pact
Velocity
Confessions of a Shopaholic
A Touch Of Frost

Leanne I did the links for you but I'm sorry I couldn't find Beyond Belief. I think I read it a few years back and I'll look for it on Amazon in a little while:)

Interesting books. As they say at McDonald's - I'm lovin' it.

Thanks Angie xx

Have been thinking about this for ages. Have finally come up with.

The Stand
Brave New World
The Passage
Pharmacology


A blank notebook

Well, one would be a Judeo-Christian Bible, since it's played such an immense role in the world and is a never-ending source of entertainment.

I would probably want some kind of medical encyclopedia.

I'd take a book about the local flora and fauna as well.

Ulysses would go, since that's probably what it would take for me to finish it.

And then I guess whatever I was reading at the time.

I LOVE the blank notebook answer.

Yes, I like the blank notebook also. I thought this might be a thought-provoking exercise. I'm still thinking on mine. Thanks for all the interesting responses.

@ Sam - LOVE the blank notebook response

The blank note book is a really great idea Sam:) and lots of the book choices people have been coming up with are good as well. But now I want to add The Stand and The Passage to mine as well! Its difficult to pick just five. Could I take my nexus as one of my choices?

I just knew I had to have something to write as well as read hence the blank notebook.
