    What would be the one book you would want to die with in your arms?
    mine would probably be The Bell Jar, Mrs Dalloway or The Hours

    what books means so much to you that you'd want everyone in the world to read it? means so much that you'd want to die with it?

    Probably a "How To" book for adding 10 years to my lifespan.

    I'd like to go clutching the copy of The Hobbit that me and my mom share :)

    Not just because it's my favorite book, as well as hers...but because I would like to die ready and willing to face my next adventure...

    Lol, me too. As good as books are though, I would'nt want to be reading when I die. I'd want to be out exploring in some far off country or sailing the ocean.
