What is the most valuable book in the world?

If you stop and consider the one book you pick up more than any other, what is it? The bible? The torah? The dictionary? The Yellow Pages? Really, what is it?

I can guarantee that it’s not a novel, no matter how many times you’ve read it. It’s not a poetry collection. I mean, come on. The bible as the mostest bestsellingest book in 3 trillion years certainly hits home for many.

But what would we do without The Joy of Cooking? Eat out of Kraft boxes? Burn our hamburgers? Abuse a roasted chicken? Fuck up rice?

The Joy of Cooking, despite its now perished traditions, is a library of conk-you-over-the-head common sense. If, after reading Joy you still can’t get rice right? Well, dearie, you need to order out.
