What are some /lit/ essential reading companions?
So far I have:
>Roget's Thesaurus
>Oxford English Dictionary
>A book on trees
>A book on birds
I'm seeking books that will expand my future reading and rereading experiences in this vein.
Unironically the bible.

also not sure why you don't just google anything on your phone that needs clarification instead of keeping four books at hand.
