The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, a revolutionary book that helps you tap into your own latent creative juices/genius/artist :)! Something we all could benefit from.

For another great perspective on this book, see Amy's thoughts at the International Orange blog: http://www.internationalorange.com/blog/the-art...

A dictionary... what a wonderful way to expand your mind...but SO heavy to carry! :)

Wow, that's an incredibly hard question. Assuming I couldn't take a Kindle, I'd have some serious soul searching to pick just one. My gut says that I would choose either East of Eden or The Red Tent if I were absolutely forced to pick one book.

"Einstein's Dreams" by Alan Lightman. It but a wee book, but so poetic and wise. I think having to visit it over and over again would be a delight.

I'm not sure. Maybe a picture book, but if I had to pick one for self-education, it'd be a Caroline Myss book, like "Why people don't heal, and how they can".

This is so difficult; but it came to me intuitively, so I'd say:MAKING THE GODS WORK FOR YOU,
by Carollne Casey. It's a fantastic astrology/cosmology book and it's brilliant and fun.

"Marjorie Morningstar" by Herman Wouk. I never thought it was my favorite until I started feeling a need to read it about every other year.

I have a little leather bound journal that I have been handwriting my favorite poems (by other people) into for years now-- maybe 2 or 3 poems a year. It is like a prayer book, but with poems. That book would get me through anything. Prufrock and Burnt Norton by T.S. Eliot, poems by Emily Dickinson, Shakespeare, Seamus Heany, Thomas Hardy, Mary Oliver, Tess Gallagher, Rita Dove, Ann Carson... just to name a few. It feeds my soul, and I always take it with me when I travel.

I would go with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I always find a chuckle within a few pages. It's totally familiar absurdity that comforts me when I think things are getting too wierd.

I love so many books, but I would take the Bible over than all. It's got everything: romance, drama, history, genealogy, songs, biographies, words of wisdom & more. It has unwavering advice for these inconstant times.

Without a doubt, Jane Austen's 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice. Or if I couldn't find that, any of her books or one of Edith Wharton's.

I would actually take my own, The Acceptance Diet, and finish it up and send it off (which is what I am doing right now... and so focused upon that I can say honestly is the only true answer for me right now).

Next week, after it is sent off, I will consider what other book I might take with me, but for now..... it is my own.

It's a tie between "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsch or the "Bhagavad Gita". Both are packed with information to address just about any situation in your life.

This one might seem weird, but it's fiction for those thinking about the future - The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawk.
