To all those who say their favorite/all materials are digital: You'll are no fun! :p
To all those with more than one shelf of language materials: pack rats are at extra risk of fire anyway! Spoil sports.
My collection is reasonably small so I could probably make it out with all 10 or so of my language books if I'm really lucky. But if I could save just one: Easy Spanish Reader all the way. My mom gave me that book.

This reminds me of a joke I once heard. Two friends are discussing what to give their buddy as a birthday present. The first one says, "Let's give him a book", and the second replies, "He already has one!"

I'm afraid I'm definitely no fun, almost everything I have is on the laptop and I am on it so often my girlfriend sometimes says she will throw it out of the window! Being a late convert to computers, I also have a great love of books, but really for the knowledge contained within. Being the manager of a care home and health and safety rep. I would get out with nothing; it's all replaceable and what's between my ears isn't!
