emelee Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 IMO, the bible is a very good book. But it's filled with made up fiction. Like a short story collection. A folktale if you will. Back when stories were spread orally, and changed every time it was passed on. And then someone finally wrote it down. Like the Brothers Grimm with "their" fairy tales.

CuriousGeorgette Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hmm after echoing the sentiments about burning books in general ... I think that I would save, as some one already said, a book that can bear tons and tons of rereading without getting dreary - how about a good encyclopedia? Save the world's knowledge kind of thing? Gosh I really don't know. I have lots of books I enjoy rereading, but to choose one to be my ONLY book to read? That is hard. Even the best book gets a bit boring after a few repetitions. If I have to go on others' experiences - The Bible might be a good choice. It has certainly been the sole reading material for many a person.
