    The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion. Because fuck real history, I want to live in Middle Earth.

  2. Ulla-Helena says:

    3 books? I’d have to go with The Bible, the Quoran, and The God Delusion. Why not incite a little controversy?

  3. ROSELLE says:

    “”His Dark Materials” Trilogy by Philip Pullman (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife & The Amber Spyglass) Or really any fantasy/science fiction trilogy. If we can only have three books to pass on to our future generation why not make them bad ass and full of mystery. The future is no time for boring facts. “

  4. If this is acceptable, the Encyclopedia Britannica, as in all of them. If not, a chemistry textbook, an atlas with resource maps, and physicians desk reference.

  5. As long as the one on top is the Karma Sutra – I don’t care what the next two are…..

  6. Marji says:

    Russell’s history of western philosophy, Shakespeare First Folio, Darwin’s On the Origin of Species.

  7. Jaine says:

    1984, whichever of Shakespeare’s plays is considered the best, and either gray’s anatomy or the most respected quantum mechanics textbook available

  8. Hadie says:

    Bible, Tao Deh Ching, and a printed copy of the internet.

  9. Tait says:

    Physician’s Desk Reference, The United States Constitution and The Bible. Without medicine, society wouldn’t survive long enough for anything else to matter. Without rule of law, society wouldn’t survive long enough for anything else to matter. Without the comfort and guidance of Scripture, I’m not sure that’s a world I’d want to live in.
