Oh, no! Your house is suddenly going up in flames! You have time to save all your animate loved ones (children, pets, housemates, etc.) a handful of vital possessions, and ONE BOOK from your beloved collection. (Just one!) Which book will you choose? (Decide quickly!)

There are some good answers (and agonizing!) in the comments to the entry above. But the decision was surprisingly easy for me: the German-language Bible that my grandfather gave me. Not at all practical, but it's irreplaceable in at least two ways.

So how about you?

Rather than choose, I would prefer to throw myself into the flames and perish with my beloved companions.

In the Gormenghast Trilogy there is a moment like the one described. I can hardly bear to read it even now.

My signed copy of Victory of Eagles. :D

Can I take my entire 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica?

oops, that was me. I was wondering why it was so adamant about making sure I was human :)
