Lest we forget

Re: Choose 3 Books
For never-ending amusement perhaps Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi's Green Book. (I like the guy, sort of, but his writing is ever an enigma to me).
For practicality, "Eat Sand to stay fit and preserve your health" by Ram Rati And the pop up book of useable sailing vessels. |

Re: Choose 3 Books
Ok
If on an Island I would take The Tibetan Book of the Dead... I just got an English translation and at the rate I am going with it, that would last me a good long time... And... gack!! This is really hard... Ok... let me think about books that have brought me joy... A large anthology of LM Montgomery books that I was goven as a child. For those of you who don't know that is the author of "Anne of Green Gables" And "Fall on your Knees" I really like that book |

Re: Choose 3 Books
This lifetime I shall be mostly reading…
In the Buddha’s Words: An Anthology of Discourses from the Pali Canon. Edited and introduced by Bhikkhu Bodhi. Selected “core” suttas arranged into thematic chapters and with an excellent introduction by Bhikkhu Bodhi at the beginning of each one. So every time I read this I get more out of it. The Compass of Zen. By Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn. A perceptive, incisive, and rather quirky tour of Buddhism that educates, challenges and amuses me. Complete Prose. Woody Allen. Funny and provocative every time I read it. s. |

Re: Choose 3 Books
Always Coming Home by Ursula K LeGuin. Becuase that's ironic, given the context, and I still haven't read it.
The largest Choose Your Own Adventure book I can find. Those are like forty books in one!! A jumbo edition of Mad Libs, as long as I can bring a pen. Can I bring a pen? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Choose 3 Books
Yes. Good. It's hard to survive without pens.
Hey InLove, can I borrow your journal, too? Don't worry, I'll swim over to your island to get it. Otherwise I am going to have to start writing on my hands and arms and... Damn. I shoulda brought a journal. |
