Yes, I'm being dramatic. ;)

If it was your last day on earth, what book (other than the Bible) would you chose to read?

The Man Who Was Thursday by G K Chesterton. That's an interesting question....

*thinks* That's a hard one... Maybe The Seventh Door or else Reapers.

Hrmmmmmmmmmmm... This is a tough question. o.O

Non-fiction, "When God Winks at You" by sQuire Rushnell. Fiction, goodness... perhaps "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" by Kate Douglas Wiggin? Tough one...

I have yet to read any of the ones written here. I should, they must be pretty good! :)

I really don't know...

For fiction... OH. I KNOW NOW. "Angel Fall" by Coleman Luck. I would want to read that; it would most likely be a huge souce of comfort. Or possibly Wayne Thomas Batson's "The Door Within" books. Or his "Dark Sea Annals" books. Or... anything by him, really. All of his books would be a source of comfort in some way.

I'd also want to try and read books my friends had written too though, because (assuming I hadn't somehow managed to get them all into one place so I could spend my last day on Earth with them) I'd want to be thinking of them...

So many books. :?

For nonfiction... I really don't know. I don't read a lot of nonfiction. I'm going to cheat and say that N.D. Wilson's books "Notes on a Tilt-A-Whirl" and "Death By Living" count as nonfiction (technically they do; just very pretty nonfiction ^_^ ), and that I'd read those. :) Because they'd be comforting too.

Last day on earth and one book besides the Bible... Either my Joshua trilogy (it's in one book, it counts) or The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Or maybe Surprised by Joy.

Probably one of the last two.

But if it was my last day on earth and I knew it, I would probably be writing letters, reading my diary, and meeting friends and family. And praying. A lot.
