Question of the week part deux

[[...]]

Hi all,

 

I thought this as a nice follow-up to maggiemay's question of the week.

You have to give all your books away except you can keep three.

 

My choice would be:

 

The Velveteen rabbit by I think Margery williams

The drama of being a child by alice miller

and the bfg by roald dahl

 

What would yours be?

I am pulling a blank  but here goes:

 

1.  The Bible

2.  Romantic Manifesto - Ayn Rand

3.  Time Alive - Victoria Stoddard

4 . Webb's Dictionary

5.  Roget's Thesaraus

 

OK 4 & 5 are a joke... I will blame memory on the meds

This one is hard I don't know If i can keep it to 3, hummm,

 

 

1. Complete poems, W.B. Yeats

 

2. Complete essays, Mark Twain 

 

3. Collected letters of Oscar Wilde

 

If I could have a couple more they would be: the collected writings of Thomas Jefferson, Rimbaud's complete poems and a monograph on my favorite artist, James Ensor.  Ok, face it, I just cannot give up my library!!

Hi Skeeter ...

 

You are not illiterate at all and obviously have a great sense of humor .... I love the Archie series too...I always loved Jughead, Betty and Veronica..

 

I did not think about listing The Enquirer until after I made my post  Take care, Cheryl

These postings are too funny    Good topic, Kev!

 

Skeeter, you have a great sense of humor!

 

And, Christine, I think it's too cool that you actually have a library in your house!!!  You are extremely well-read

 

Boy, it's sure good to talk about something other than benzos all the time!!!

Hi all,

 

  I would have loved to include my comic book collection, but alas, my husbands mother tossed them (his and mine) when we were away at college in the 70's.  My husband had EVERY original Marvel comic from the beginning to when he turned 20 and I had most of my kid ones, including Archie and Jughead.   She also threw away all our underground comix, ouch.  If we had all those now, and my husbands baseball cards from the 50's and 60's (which she also tossed) we could retire to easy street!

 

  Yeah Maggie, I do have a huge library.  I started collecting books when I was a kid.  I never get rid of any of them. I found out long ago that it was far cheaper for me to buy a book than it was to get it from the library, forget to return it, lose it and have to pay mass late fees or replace the book.
