• Question: if the world was ending and everybody had to board a ship to outer space and live on it (like in WALL-E) and only two pieces of literature could be taken (a series would count as one, a trilogy would count as one etc.) and that almighty decion was resting with you, which two pieces would you choose?

      This is such a random question, but I like it (I also absolutely love WALL-E).

      OK, so in terms of important pieces of literature that will help us on our new planet, I’d say the entire Encyclopedia Britannica for reference and the entire Penguin Classics collection for leisure.

      Is that cheating? Because really that’s a lot of books! I don’t care anyway, those are my choices and everyone on the space ship is stuck with them hehe :p
