One Book Left to Read

[Ben Staad]

May be a bit of a morbid question however I will ask it anyway:

If you were diagnosed with a terminal disease or ailment which book would you like to read/reread before you pass?

For me this is an almost impossible question to answer. I think I would probably want to reread The Hobbit or The Gunslinger. Both had tremendous impacts in my life.

I would also imagine I would pick up and start reading the Bible again.

[St. Troy]

I think I'm one of those people that would never read again, although it's my favorite way to pass the time (or nearly so).

If I had to pick one, I guess it would be something short and meaningful (as opposed to simply entertaining), and at the moment, A Christmas Carol is the only thing that leaps to mind.

Running with the Demon by Terry Brooks. It's gotta be one of my favorite books ever. That whole trilogy is fantastic.

The Stand.

I'd probably stop reading and spend what time I had left with my kids.
Of course, I'd love to read the ending of A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, but I probably WILL be dead before that happens.

Good one. I hadn't read that book in ages.

There are so many books on my tbr list, but I would probably settle down with The Stand also.

Probably Ken Grimwood’s REPLAY.

This book has popped up a few times recently via my social media travels (I’m limping this here forum an others into the social media bucket.)

For some reason I believe that I own a copy, I’ll have to check and if so, move that up in the TBR pile.

I haven't read them but perhaps the 50 Shades books or maybe the Twilight books. Death wouldn't seem so bad after that, maybe....

EDIT: But of course I was merely joking. The last book would have to be Walking with Ghosts by BJF. (He still reads these posts right?).

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Simply one of my favorite novels of all time.

You definitely should...it's one of my favorite books, and I think a very appropriate end-of-life read in that it provokes thought about one's choices in life, both good and bad/regretful, and yet is immensely life-affirming. It won the 1988 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, and for good reason.

Tommy. Doesn't reading those books earn you an automatic spot in you know where? LOL LOL

Good one! I really liked this book. So good, yet not talked about that much.
