Most of you know what I'm talking about.

What is it.

ONE BOOK!

Not a list of possible books.

I mean, if I could be a moderator and chop off the heads of those who don't play along, I would.

ONE BOOK!

It's the fifth book, so you have four in your pocket that you absolutely love.

What is you FIFTH AND LAST BOOK?

No more. No playing around. No list of forty books you might consider to be the fifth book. This thread is about the...

...FIFTH BOOK.

What is it?

(I myself haven't decided. Smile)

Truth be told, if you are on a desert island, and no one truly knows where it is at, then you have bigger problems than what is your 5th book. In fact, unless one of those books is a survival manual you had better be reading the first four really fast.

I guess my head's chopped.

Peace and Godspeed.

My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums.

I said something similar in another thread but chose to play along with the fantasy in this one Smile

Thank you.

I always found it an idiotic question to have to choose between Ginger and Mary-Ann. Why choose? If I were the Professor, I'd have been working on much more interesting projects than devising ways to get of the island.

But I digress.

Alone on a desert island? I guess a bound volume of Hustler would come in handy.

The Long Goodbye, which I consider Raymond Chandler's greatest work. Doesn't quite make my top four.

No. By "not play along" I meant "not play along with the listing of only ONE item." You watch. Any post now will have about twenty items in it. Watch. Watch. It's coming....

My mother's journal.

No, that would be my first book. No my first book should be the phone book so I could order some pizza. But if it's a primitive island my fist book should be "How to make a telephone (or radiophone). Then I'd need a checkbook to pay for the pizza. But that's about the first four books, not the fifth book.

So before I get decapitated, I'll choose my fifth book as "How To Make Decisions" by Hank Kimball, County Agent.
