If there was a great World war or some kind of catastrophe. That killed 99% of humanity. Let's say only 6 000 out of the world population of 6 000 000 000 survived. Books in libraries would be used as fuel for fires. Which 10 books should be saved ? Why ? Try to be serious. Don't say The Yellow pages. So that you could order Pizza or Chinese takeout.

Math isn't your strongpoint is it?
If only 6000 people were left my guess is they would have to start over again. Most important books would be about survival.
1) SAS survival hand book.
Getting food would be nice. http://www.hydrosupply.com/NewFiles/hydcrpbk.html
2) Hydroponic Crop Production
Getting housing would also be nice. http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Building%20a%20House:3000407232;_ylc=X3oDMTB1c21tcDhkBF9TAzk2NjMyOTA3BHNlYwNmZWVkBHNsawNib29rcw--
3) Building a House
After that some light reading would be in order.
4) to 10) Harry Potter series.
I know this is not the idea behind your question. My point is. When it happens prioreties shift to less enlightened and more practical stuff...like you said. They burned the books for heat..practicallity at work.

Well, obviously the Bible for one. And some people would say the Koran as well.
