Can it be like a series of books?

Like book 1 to 5?

If so, David Eddings and the Belgariad! Or the Mallorean! Fuck it, anything by David Eddings will do

Interesting choice!

David Oyedepo has written and published great books, W.F Kumuyi has written and published mind-blowing books.

OP does it have to be a book or could it be another form of literary work...like a poem?

For me most books wouldn't keep stimulating my mind after reading it two or three times.

Something which will bring out new challenges for me stimulate the rest of my day activity beyond the moments in reading....It would need to be the Bible. I guess it transcends the here and now yet doesn't exclude it.

I don't think I've read any grown up books that I could read over and over again. Bryce Courtenay's 'Four Fires' really stuck with me, I'm not entirely sure why though. With that in mind, and in lieu of any immediate breakthroughs in my literary enlightenment, I'd probably have to go with 'My naughty little sister' by Dorothy Edwards; I've lost count of the amount of times I read that to my children when they were smaller and it conjures wonderful memories.

I would flip a coin between the collected works of Poe (poetry included) and the complete fiction of Lovecraft. Let fate decide.

Ideally I would commission an anthology of short stories from authors both living and dead. Though this would seem to be cheating somewhat.

I couldn't choose fiction - even anthologies or 'complete works' - as I think it wouldn't stimulate me with repeat readings.

Actually, it may not be reading in the traditional sense but I think I'd go with the biggest, most detailed and technical atlas I could find as there are so many ways to 'read' one and I always notice something new.

If that's not allowed then something like the London Encyclopaedia which is stuffed with info about London (long) past and present and though I've read its various editions a lot in the past 30 years I still haven't read every single entry.

I think I'd choose a book about Queen Elizabeth first. I'm not sure I could read fiction over and over so something that I would need to read multiple times to learn states, events and other facts would suit me better. However I think I'd struggle with never reading anything else unless listening was allowed.

Don't think that I have ever read any book twice, but if forced to choose it would be Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. or Alice in wonderland, the ordinary examined through a different lens keeps me grounded.

Hmmmmmmm seeing as i can't pick series it would have to be

Perdido street station, can't begin to explain this book but everyone should read it at least once.

As for series;

The blacktower series stephen king,

Dresden files jim butcher,

Or the wool series

Ooh ooh or jim butchers zombie fallout.......but then theres the ketty jay series aswell........

Instead of one book couldn't i just have one e reader?

If it was '1 book or nothing' I'd pick a dictionary.

Since series are really just one story, split into parts, I'd glue the covers together and select either:

"Apprentice Adept" series (originally a trilogy, then later expanded to 7 parts), or

"Incarnations of Immortality" series (7 parts)... both by Piers Anthony.

Oh, but then there's E.E. 'Doc' Smith's "Lensman" series... eek!
