What I’d Save

If I suddenly woke up and my house was on fire, I'd be very hard presses as to what three things I'd take with me, for I own lots of books, all of which I deeply like.

But if it came down to it, I'd take my typewriter, so I can continue to write in the way I like best; I'd also take a stack of blank printer paper, which I keep in my desk drawer for my typewriter; and lastly I'd take one book, any book, it's doesn't matte which, but I'd take one.
