harmlessbalderdash asked: what's the one book, if you had to choose one, you feel you absolutely still need to read before you die? (something that already exists.)
After much thought, consideration and weighing my initial gut reactions, I would have to go with Shahnameh, the Persian Book of Kings. Its poetry, language, history, and cultural significance are all of great interest and I feel of all the classics and books I know of, this is the one I’d be remiss to not read before I die.
