The Egyptian Book of the Dead. Roots of our culture today can be found in the way they saw things thousands of years ago. Our moral codes, respect for property rights, compassion for the needy, etc., are all there, long before Babylon, Greece, Judaism, Christianity, Rome, Islam, etc. existed.

Dangerous Lady by Martina Cole. It is fabulously written book and even though I am nothing like any of the characters, I can completely understand their motives and sympathise with them. I just can't praise this book enough. I have read it both times (and only brought it 6 weeks ago) and as soon as i finished the last page, i turned straight back to the beginning and started again. It is the kind of book you can read over and over again without getting bored of it.
However, I would cry if i could only read one book in the world. I adore books so much, to the point i can't give any of mine away to charity (which my husband wants me to) even thought i have about 200 books in my collection and that is still not enough for me!

The Bible in any format. It is the most complex, yet simple to read collection of books ever written. It needs to be approached in its entirety, without relying on the opinions of others. But one can find interest in each small part. It contains guidance, encouragement and exciting stories. If it were the only book one would have to read for a lifetime, it would continue to intrigue, and show new nuances even if it were read yearly.

I would die before I could read it if that happened. I can read a book in about 2 days and love to read.

I would love to read any one of the hundreds of lost Mayan books, destroyed by the Spanish who were horrified by Mayan religion. The Mayans were great prophets and it would be interesting to see what they recorded and or predicted for the future. Of course I don't understand Mayan heiroglyphs which might make the reading a bit slower.

The Bible. Because I believe it's the synopsis of all books. That's if you mean if I had the chance to read only one book. Otherwise, I'd like to be able to read every book there is.

My own!
A shock worldwide hit from a debutant so talented many writers gave up as they were unable to match his brilliance. Oh the book was also soon to be filmed by Johnny Depp, with a soundtrack by dEUS.

I've recently read Fat by Rob Grant (co-creator of Red Dwarf). It is one of the funniest books I've ever read. It's all about people dealing with weight. I can really relate to alot of it.
