Open Question Wednesday #17
Look, it's Wednesday! And I've thought of a question.
There are a lot of books I want to read, but there are actually more books out there that I have no interest in at all. And yet, if they were the only book around, I'm sure I'd read them.
But then I got to wondering, is there a book, where if it was the last book on Earth, I still wouldn't read it?
I'm not sure... how about you?
We'll assume for the duration of the hypothetical that the last book on Earth is in a language you can read. (Though I'm sure I'd at least try to read a book in any language, I'm equally sure it would be an epic fail if the book were in, say, Hindi.)

no subject
I'm tempted to quip that I'd also never read The Da Vinci Code, but I probably would break down if it were indeed the last book on Earth, though I must say the thought of that as our literary legacy is quite depressing.
