The OP specifically states that we are sharing.
1,000 Places to See Before You Die . . . or something similar, but with lots of pictures. I figure some of us will be getting homesick.
The Art of War by Sun Tzu. I’ve always wanted to get through it, and if we have to get into a war sometime it should be useful.
Less practical: Book of knitting and enough supplies to keep me from going squirrelly.
(You’re asking the woman who brings four books on a four hour flight because she’ll have finished them all before the plane lands to pick just ONE book for a months-long trip not to mention however long we’re stuck there?)
Darn it! That was my choice…
I might bring either The Iliad or The Odyssey…whichever one Pushkin leaves behind.
I’m bringing Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. That being said, those of you with *Catch 22 *and A Hundred Years of Solitude, I’d like to trade sooner or later.
Glad to hear all these great books. Do stop by the used bookshop i’m setting up, on the eastern edge of Mare Icarium.
Toni Morrison’s Paradise. Just to remind us how screwed up people can be.
My problem is, some of my favorite books are short: Dandelion Wine, The Dharma Bums, Pump House Gang, The Demolished Man…
How soon do we leave? I need some research time.
And if it’s in hardcover, you can use it to bludgeon anyone reading ‘Finnegan’s Wake’ out loud.
My pick: The Zombie Survival Guide. We don’t know if there’s microbes on Mars that can re-animate the dead, but better safe than sorry, that’s my motto.
I will tote Gone With The Wind, and I want to sit between pancakes3 and fuzzypickles.
