I love it.
What book would I have said if I lived there? I’m going to have to have a bit of a think. You’d be inclined to humblebrag or virtue signal, I guess.
Brilliant idea, and nicely done, too!
I would have to put the books (assuming I am allowed more than 1) Magician by Raymond E Feist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magician_(Feist_novel)) and The Mote in God’s Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mote_in_God%27s_Eye) – but in each case using their original covers and spines, not those shown in the links. They were two very influential books for me in fantasy and science fiction, and remain regulars in my reading chair :)
I remember finding Magician in a second-hand bookstore when I was in my early teens. It blew my tiny mind!
“Ah, Arutha. You take all the fun out of life.”
Awwwwwwww. Good times.
I read “Magician” back in the early 80’s, it’s a great book..thanks for the memory. For me the book would be Lord of the Rings….classic.
Since I’m crap at the emoji-speak and picking wining songs
I’ll give this a lash and try n’get it lobbed up on to Broadsheet Book Club gable end
A Schumer : The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo
Joseph Heller’s Catch 22 for me.
The Great Gatsby for me.
And whose last lines are amongst the most glorious in English literature.
I’d go for Stone Mad by Seamus Murphy.
His wife taught me art in school. Lovely lady.
I love his work. This piece always made me smile. Happily it’s been reinstated.

His nephew Ciaran Murphy was Dean of Commerce in UCC. A Talented lot.
This is awesome. I’d be torn between The Count of Monte Cristo and A fraction of the whole, by Stephen Toltz.
And about forty others. Can we not have a wall to ourselves?
