You will never be tired again, so you can stay up all night reading, and still be ready to leave for work/school at 7 am.

Mine are 3, 7, 11, 15, and 19. You can never have too many books.
I really also enjoyed numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 but really liked 10, 11, 16 and 19!
But still want to hear: Wow, that book was awesome! It really took me to the moon and back! Thanks for writing it!

Thank you for the sentiment.
I just thought of one... All the people who have read the same books as you live within 20 miles of you. And here's two now!
And they liked the book as much as you did.
5, 6, 11, 19. Amazing."Happy birthday, I built you Belle's library from Beauty and the Beast. All I ask is ONE dance, and then you can sit in here and read whatever you'd like for however long. There's a coffee/tea bar in the corner for you, some lovely couches, and a puppy petting corner for the sad parts of the books. Just message me when you're hungry and I'll bring snacks."
"I'd like to hire you to read books and then write book reviews. And, of course, i'll supply you with all the books you choose to review."
Enjoy your trip. All your favourite books are waiting for you at home.
Yeah sure, you can have all those Austen's or Sparks's or maybe you want some of Rowell's? What? You want Rowling's and Green's too? And what else? Oh, don't worry sweetheart and don't forget the coffee okay? Happy reading! - aunty

I changed my vote to #9. "Here is your own personal door to the largest bookstore in the world. In it is every book in every edition for every genre.

I agree with you. Lucky you.
You won the $1.6 billion lottery and you can only spend the money on books and a place to store /read them.

I like 3, 15, 17, 18, and 20. I'm disabled, so I don't work. I already read all day in an effort to avoid thinking about my pain level.Any/several of my favorite actors coming up to me and asking, "You read a lot and have tons of books. Can you give me a starter reading list? Oh, and here's a top of the line e-reader with the maximum amount of memory. The way you read, you'll need it. I also put some starter money in an account with the book seller of your choice to get you started on new e-books."
Hehehehehe, same. And about the one you said Freyja, I sooooo wish that that could happen.
#16 "Yes, of course you can spend the night in the library." That's seriously the one thing I can remember having wanted all my life!
Realized the best one today "your favorite author is leading all the presidential polls."
Same! I've always wanted to spend the night in a library! I would just love it!
I still buy my kids books. What else is needed?
You will always receive an advance copy free of your favorite authors' new releases.
Aisha wrote: "#1 please. Getting paid to read is my dream come true"
It happened to me. Two months paid to read and review books for use in high schools. BEST JOB EVER , hands down
I was paid to read once. For two months I went to work for eight hours, read, and reviewed books for listing on high school reading lists. They were all books I had read or wanted to read so peachy keen job.
I'm always get money after I finish a book. The saying is a penny a page(unless it is a comic book, of course).
Same, I just can't be pulled away from reading books
Okay, numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 16, and 18 are all I need in the world. Well, that and food and sleep. Also, just once, I'd like a "Hey, what do you think I should read next? After finishing [insert obscure favorite book here], I couldn't find anything that came even close in comparison."
1) Hello, my name is Emily Bronte and I'm oh so sure that my latest novel accidentally sent me here. Can you escort me to the nearest bookstore?2)" Hey, I read all your reviews on goodreads and I have one question for you...will you marry me?"as they look up you realize that the person is your favorite living author.
3) This is the FBI. You have read so many books that we want to pay you one billions dollars a month to read more and become more intelligiant.
4) Suprise, here's your very own free bookstore!
Maham wrote: "'you may read whatever you like whenever you like instead of studying and taking exams'- College Management."Oh, that would just be the best!
Here's a lifetime of all the best, past, present and future books so you never ever ever feel alone again.
"Just say the title, author and why you want it and it will be yours forever!" ~Every dream ever."Really? You like the________ series! Me too! We should meet at the library some time."~Any boy that I've had a crush on.
