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

Wuthering heights

Cry Creedom by Donald Woods

But if any book The Bible

I’m with Marydoll. The poems say so much about the human condition. I learnt part of the Four Quartets by heart when I was young (and had a memory) and it’s never left me.

A Kiss Through Glass by Shirley Nolan. About her son Anthony Nolan the 'boy in a bubble' who died and now we have bone marrow transplants almost routinely. I loaned my copy to someone and never got it back then years later DH found a copy online in New Zealand and bought it for me, it was well thumbed so someone else had been moved as I was.

Any Margaret Forster

Call me shallow, but probably Interview With The Vampire by Ann Rice

My book of TS Elliot poems.

It’s a matter of controversy in this household that I never re-read books as in novels so for me it would be a book of poetry - probably an anthology (if that’s allowed) of the metaphysical poets.

Should be Kazuo Ishiguro Sorry.

Never Let Me Go by Ishiguru to remind us of the dangers of medical science if taken too far.

Precious Bane by Mary Webb - wore out first copy, have a well-used second copy, and also on Kindle. It's my treasure

Any books by Ella Maillart, she did not write many.

She wrote a book on travel in the Taklamakan desert in China,Peter Fleming wrote a similar book of his journeys there.

It was a fascinating area, mostly Buddhist, and was excavated by a German, as all the sand had penetrated everywhere.

Too many books, too little time.

Cheat! ?

A big one, so I could carry on reading for as long as possible! The collected works of Dickens will do for me.

Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck for me.

If we are talking fiction, then probably 1984 by George Orwell, to remind ourselves what freedom in our choices of lifestyle really are.

I too think To Kill a Mockingbird is a wonderful book but I would probably choose Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin.
