What Book Would You Save?

Our June Book Discussion was Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and one of the questions that was asked was, "What book would you want to save from burning-- the book that you would memorize and share with others?"

Here are some of their answers:
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Big Orange Splot by Daniel M. Pinkwater
1984 by George Orwell

What book would you save? Tell us here.

    Unable to put either book down, a shared experience with characters living a completely different lifestyle but with whom I easily identify. It's been a while since I have read a novel as well written.

  2. Indeed, short of being able to save The Bible, I would save "Fahrenheit 451" itself. It is a masterful, literate, eternally relevant, thought-provoking and powerful fable of rebellion against censorship, written with love and passion by one of the greatest living American authors. It occupies a special place on my bookshelves, as does "The Shadow Of The Wind".
