Feature and Follow Friday is a blog hop created to help get to know fellow book bloggers. It's hosted by Alison Can Read and Parajunkee.
Q: If you could only have ONE – one book – for the rest of your life. What would it be?
Only one? That would be torture. I'll say Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. It has a little bit of everything considered relevant to literature and world history and it's around 1,500 pages so it would keep me busy for a long time. Plus it reminds me of the Harriet the Spy sequel I read when I was a kid, The Long Secret, which features it.
If that's considered cheating, then Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Also very long, very entertaining, and contains both wizards and footnotes.

Long book are the best choice for this week's question. I couldn't imagine running out of books to read. I'd have to start writing. New bloglovin follower. My FF
ReplyDeleteWriting would be the solution. Thank you so much.
DeleteHi Jaime, I haven't heard about this book but if it contains wizards then way to go. Cheating isn't allowed. We have to abide by the one book policy law strictly. xD

1500 pages would give you some serious read time - by the time you finished, you could start again. Good choice. Following you via bloglovin'

I had never heard of the Jonathan Strange book until the other day and I have seen it several times since. I will definitely be looking more closely at it on my next book buying spree.
