How would you respond?
How many books do you own?
1: Zero
2: 1-10
3: 11-35
4: 36-100
5: 101-250
6: 251-1000
7: 1000+
What are the top 2 Dewey Decimal classifications or genre of your library based on quantity of the books you own in said categories?
Ref:
000 Generalities
100 Philosophy & psychology
200 Religion
300 Social sciences
400 Language
500 Natural sciences & mathematics
600 Technology (Applied sciences)
700 The arts
800 Literature & rhetoric
900 Geography & history
Sub-Topic 1
If you were to be stranded on a desert island for one year, what 3 books would you like to have with you? (We will assume there is reasonable food, shelter, and clothing as well as an unlimited supply of paper and writing implements. However, there are no medical supplies, so if you have a condition (such as I do) which would cause you to die before the year is out, does that affect your selection?)
Sub-Topic Alternative
If you could substitute the complete musical works of any 3 composers, groups (bands), or artists for one book, what would you select and how many books would you replace with music? (We assume there is an awesome musical playback device.)
Sub-Topic for Fun
If you could add one book or the equivalent quantity of music to the selection of another Lurker, what would you suggest and for whom? (I think this might be interesting if you list the Lurker's name but type the book title and reasoning in one of those blacked out spoiler boxes and the named Lurker doesn't read that part until they have made their own selections. (You can list selections for as many Lurkers as you want.))
