If you could only save one Book which would it be?

I assumed we were being asked about a novel?

'Down the Bright Stream' by B.B.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

Unfortunately I never seem to keep a copy for myself, I have bought about 12 copies so far.
The last one went to a dear friend of DD who works for an NGO in Africa, and asked for a Wedding present, books which where very special to people so they could build a library which they could easily move.
It reminds them of dear friends when they read the books. I thought it was a lovely idea.
We also gave the 'New Portugeuse Letters' signed by the author.

Withering Heights

The Road to Little Dribbling by Bill Bryson, because it is informative, laugh out loud amusing and reminds me of all that is good about this quirky little island that we live in and it’s people.

Cider with Rosie by Laurie Lee.

Frankly in a fire I wouldn't stop for a book but would grab my tablet!

Anything by Terry Pratchett.

In Fahrenheit 451 I don't think it was just novels that were burned was it?

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Trilogy ......

Three Men In A Boat.

Definitely the Bible with all its history, poetry, action, romance, mystery and expectation.

I'd have to take "The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist", but someone else mentioned 1984, and I'd be torn between that and "The Road To Wigan Pier".

On the novels front, if I had to, it'd be a Kurt Wallander

The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho

I find it terribly difficult to choose just one. Jane Eyre was my 'first love' and I'd probably go with that but how could I leave out Coming up for Air by George Orwell which I think is brilliant.

Whichever book I'm writing at the moment

I don't think I would have time to scramble up in the loft for my grandfather's childhood copy of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island or My grandmother's
wee leather bound book of poetry, a 21st birthday present from her cousin.
Irreplaceable

But at present they are safe in the loft stored with silica gel to keep any moisture at bay

Snap ?

"A Town Like Alice" by Nevil Shute.
Or one of Rosamund Pilchers Books - either "Winter Solstice" - "Coming Home" 0r "The Shell Seekers".

For me it would have to be which ever book I'm reading at the time. I can't bear a half finished story!!
In the unlikely event that I wasn't reading a book at the time I think I'd like to save Of Mice And Men.

I never reread books so my choice would be an empty notebook where I could write my own novel.

I would save my copy of The Borrowers which I received as a school prize for being "the best all rounder". It means the world to me.

My first thought was the Bible but thinking again it would be The Stand by Stephen King

Anything by Monica Dickens (wonderful story teller).
