Okay, there's way too many. Can I count every Shakespeare play ever except The Merry Wives of Windsor? Plays aren't really novels, but still. I don't think I could live without Hamlet or The Tempest.
Without books I would definitely curl up into a tiny ball and waste away to nothing, especially without Siddhartha.

Since my entire house is filled with books, I'm not sure I'll be able to narrow it down too much. There aren't too many titles I can live without - I live to read! Here goes:
anything by Anne McCaffrey and Laurell Hamilton
Lord of the Rings (both books by Tolkien and DVDs by Jackson)
Harry Potter, etc.
Folly by Laurie King (and most of her other books!)
The Clairvoyant Countess by Dorothy Gilmore
early Patricia Cornwell
the Bookman series (and the author's name escapes me! aarrgh!)
Susan Grafton's alphabet series
J.D. Robb's series featuring Eve Dallas (I know, I know, it's really Nora Roberts, but what can I say? I'm a sucker for science fiction romantic mysteries!)
And I could go on, and on, and on, and on. In fact, I did! Oops!
I can see I will definitely have to check out the sci-fi/fantasy section of my library - and soon. The mysteries are taking over!
Happy Holidays, my fellow Browncoats!

my most favoritest book is The Little Prince.
I know some folks consider it a children's book, but it really is a story for adults. I can't count the number of time I've read it. I only took French in high school so I could translate it myself.

Jefe,
If my house were burning down, I'd save my son, my dog and The Stand by Stephen King.
Others I'd try to get are:
King:
The Shining
'Salem's Lot
James Thurber:
The Thurber Carnival
Any and all Dave Barry
and Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
The rest would have to burn because The Stand--Complete and Uncut weighs a ton.
And if you were spending the night I'd save you too!
