and more important to you than the bible.
Ok, for some of us most books are better than the bible, for others the choice is more difficult.
A book that I feel has more value and wisdom than the bible is:
The Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (All 5 book in the trilogy actually)
one I wrote
None - it is a masterpiece even if it is not the literal word of god. There is no better book - however, The Complete Works of Shakespear would come in at number 2. Works by Milton and Chaucer would also figure. The Epic of Gilgamesh should not be forgotten nor the Origin of the Species -- but I would also add Crisis Of Conscience to my list
The Truth that Leads to Eternal Life.
The Truth that Leads to My Nads
Scientific Progress Goes "Boink"
Something Under the Bed is Drooling
Lazy Sunday Book
and any other Calvin and Hobbes collection.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The books, folks, not the movies.
At least as epic, but with more believable characters.
'The works of Shakespeare' is a little hard to argue for, as they are not a single volume or story or theme. Still, they are very, very good reading. Possibly overrated somewhat, I fear - a LOT of incredible literature is pre-20th/21st century, and concentrating on one author causes you to lose perspective on the volume of quality works.
My son's school report. Even with all he's been through in the last 6 months he still got a great report.
He' only 6, he's so mature for his age.
I'm a very proud mummy.
Hey SD, when I was a dub kid, my pal and I once mused, "Wouldn't it be cool to base our lives on the teachings in Adam's HH guide to the galaxy?"
I would say almost any book by Daniel Pinkwater. It's funny, It's inspiring, it makes you happy.
Especially, "The snark-out boys and the avocado of death."
Huxley
I remember a "brother" that used a NWT to "spread the load" under his bumper jack on a sandy dirt road. He told me that he wished he had something of a larger "folio" size: a "bound volume" would have been perfect.
