Answer 1

The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

by Douglas Adams

Tells the meaning of life... which is 42.

Got to know that humans thought about the big questions and had a sense of humor about life.

I would also keep a children's book to show the imagination we have and how we cared about the next generation. I suggest...

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (Paperback)

by Judi Barrett (Author), Ron Barrett (Illustrator)

Answer 2

I wouldn't save any religious texts (as such) because they're all dogmatic c**p, but I would save at least

* To Kill a Mockingbird (the best of human morality in atticus finch)

* Shakespeare's Complete works (becasue he should live forever through his words)

  

Answer 3

O You might not have many ideas but i think both ideas you do have are good ones :D.

I think you should save: The Life of Pi because i think the book has hidden messages.

Answer 4

Five books that could represent humanity's literary greatness would be:

Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn."

Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island"

Richard Adams' "Watership Down"

Richard Bach's "Illusions."

Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged."

But, if you must include a dictionary, go with one of the best dictionaries ever compiled:

"The Random House Dictionary of the English Language: The Unabridged Edition." (The 1967 version is the best).
