If you could only have one book to read, from now onwards, what book would it be, and why?

    Either full Naruto colored manga Or Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas (where my username came from)

    The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkein because there’s no fucking way in hell I will ever finish that shit

    Either the SAS survival handbook because it’d be one of the most useful books to have completely memorized, or maybe the Bible just to dunk on fundamentalists by quoting obscure passages that contradict each other.

    Neither sounds super fun, but those are the first that come to mind.

    Dictionary, because I have a compulsion to look up any word I don’t know when reading and I’ll presumably continue reading non-books.

    My first thought was to pick the longest book I know of, which is Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky. I think the PDF version is 2000 pages. Not really sure I want to reread it, though. So maybe the book I’ve reread the most times, which would be 11/22/63 by Stephen King. What a fantastic book.

        I acknowledge that there are probably many books that are longer than the longest book I know of 😄

        Thank you for the link!

    “The Winds of Winter” because that’d mean he fucking finished it.

    Don’t you put that curse on me. I still have books in my to-read pile from five years ago.

    Is it a physical book? If so, I don’t care. I never like reading books (specifically) anyway

    Things I’m interested in are almost always on the internet. For example, the OBS Hybrid MP4 article

    I should probably get started actually reading a song of ice and fire.
