let's say they started burning all books and you could save 1...
 

which one would you save?

my Ebook, how to make money with blackhat..

Any book I would want to save is available in digital format, so none.

Paper books are for the birds.

Fahrenheit 451....duh.

Only one? :( I would safe something I've always wanted to read but had no time ("5 Great Novels by Philip Dick" comes to my mind).

Income Tax Act

phone book...

hmm ... hard to decide ... ELRIC, by Michael Moorcock (http://www.stormbringer.net/elric.html) or RAVEN by Richard Kirk (http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/k/richard-kirk/) ... ok, i am SOO 80s (and 70s lol)

The Large Hadron Collider Experiment Manual ... A true book, I really have no idea, something very large - like a collection of 1000 short stories.

The Encylopedia. Since it covers snippets of all the other books.

Anarchist's cookbook.

tough question! i save "100 days of solitude by Gabriel García Márquez"

"Zombie attack survival guide"

this one http://www.amazon.com/Cunt-Coloring-.../dp/0867193719

Ishmael :thumbsup

Haha! :-)

don't forget to add "the terrorist's hand book", i have read them boath afew years ago, have no plans to blow somewhere though :)

:1orglaugh

gona happen tonight in vancouver.............

Useless to save just one because the beautiful thing about books, and similar media, is the ability to learn other lots of people's knowledge and other people's point of view. Just one book would be like just one web page, too limited to present the desired brain expansion.

1984... if they're burning books it might give you some idea of what's ahead.

Lame.... seriously. Have you actually read it? It's not worth saving, unless you think drivel from some entitled 15 year olds is what gets you going. :disgust

Catch 22

H.G. Wells "The War Of The Worlds"

The holy bible

who still buys books?

hmmm I guess it would be "What is my Cat thinking" by Gwen Bailey

The Bible (crap...I was too late with this one :)

The Origin of Species.

The Secret

Can I save both the Iliad and the Odyssey as one book? Now that's great storytelling: heroic, tragic characters, monsters, gods, wars, hostages, seiges, family betrayals, pirates, mermaids (I could go on!)

a copy of hustler

The Necronomicon

most have been digitalized anyway ;)

I was gonna say that but Ill Take the Book of Mormon which i am a morman so ya.

by 2007 over 30 million people watched that thing, and since then everything on this planet went to shit.

It sold well for the same reason the ab belts sell, because they both claim you can sit on your ass, do nothing and see results.

If the secret would of been called "Hard work pays off" they would of sold maybe 1 copy.

I bet some people who really love "The secret" who defaulted on their mortgage payment, told the bank, if you can truly imagine that the check is in the mail, sooner or later it will arrive.

The bottom line is thou, if you feel a book did something for you positive than great, overall "The secret" fans remind me of people who have 5000 yellow post it notes on their computer with small motivational quotes, it seems like the only motivation these people have is to find more motivational quotes.

lol.

i think it would depend on the mood i was in at the time. jack karouac's on the road, or roald dahl's complete short stories come to mind right now.

I was joking, I don't have it. I read it when I was about 12. :)

CCBill WMS manuals... oh no they are actually useless, I forgot. :1orglaugh

American Psycho would be my choice. Haven't read it yet but it should be great, from what I've heard about it.

You all are stupid.
The Way Things Work would be the book to save.

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" or "The Power of Positive Thinking"
Both are better than Bible for living a fulfilled life.

The bible implants morals with story.. it also unread but with the thought of there being a place to go after death and will be with family andf friends keeps you way more moral then a self help book..

It puts the light and the dark as a way through the straight and narrow.. in stead of like yer books are to being happy and influance people which seems like it whould be unmoral just by reading the title.

Has the bible helped you a lot?

A dictionary

Not a single decent read on this thread, bunch of ugly people...

This is the one book you'd need in that situation

http://www.amazon.com/How-Put-Fire-N...6852072&sr=1-2

Tough call, can I save the whole Asimov's Foundation series? :)

The bible of course. Just kidding.....
