QUICK!

QUICK!
The earth is about to be destroyed.
You're one of the lucky few chosen to get into a space ship and continue the human race on a new planet.
You're allowed to take one (1) book with you.

Which book do you take with you?
Why?

Congratulations. You're ejected out of the airlock for being too much of a smug asshole.

i would just take a kindle and hope martians have wifi

Goethe's critique on Hamlet.

Okay, but the only thing you have on your Kindle is Fanfiction.

who says you're heading to mars

Who else is going on the spaceship? I'd assume that others will bring religious works. Hopefully someone will bring a complete works of Shakespeare book too.

I don't know. I guess I'd better just stay behind.

being a murderer>being smug

MFW I realized humans are cancer and colonization would be a tragedy.

Jesus, guy, don't give up that quick.

that's not the discussion here. We're saving the human race. We don't have the time for bullshit.

>sexually transmitted cancer
Sounds like you should take a biology textbook to Mars.

>killer invokes the greater good
classic

Ok. I guess I'm currently reading Updike's Rabbit tetralogy (Everyman edition), so since I have it close at hand I guess I'll just take it.

Space killed you, not man

Cool. Whatchya like about it?

Updike's prose is tremendously good. Only choosing it because it's literally the closest at hand book I have and in this scenario I'd be running for the ship entrance without really caring about what I'm taking.

That's good reason, but say you had enough warning to choose any book you wanted.

If I had enough warning, I'd take a hard drive filled with ebooks.

>"Have you seen my Updike?"
>"What is Updike?"
>"Hahaha not much, you?"
>"Get the fuck out of this house. Your mother and I are sick of your shit; we just wanted you to be a normal person and you keep doing this to us. Leave and never come back."

why are you like this

I'm too much of a literalist for questions like this. Sorry user.

The Qu'ran, someone has to set the wheels of Dune in motion.
