I would take one sell it. Then, with the money I just gained, I would by The Recognitions: the only book one could ever need.

I would scroll my phone rather than reading those three
Hatchet. Read it as a child and would use the time to see what it's like as a man.

This, very fond memories of it. I have an actual hatchet because of it.
Depends on where I'm traveling
I mean, if I'm gonna be innawoods I would take hatchet because I know nothing about survival on my own
that part in hatchet when he's drinking out of the lake with the dead pilot in it

The Road, of course. It's not as good as Blood Meridian, but it doesn't deserve nearly the amount of shit it gets here. The library (bookstore?) scene is something I still think about quit often.

"He took out the plastic bottle of water and unscrewed the cap and held it out and the boy came and took it and stood drinking. He lowered the bottle and got his breath and he sat in the road and crossed his legs and drank again. Then he handed the bottle back and the man drank and screwed the cap back on and rummaged through the pack. The ate a can of white beans, passing it between them, and he threw the empty tin into the woods.
Then they set out down the road again."
fucking enlightening.

>>7433667
