The lost first page of the Bible.

If you're interested in another testament of Jesus Christ, I have the perfect book for you:

Includes your very own set of magic underwear too.

His Twitter feed would've been better.

I have this fantasy that during some Italian work project they are going to break into a vault containing all the lost works of antiquity :P

My fantasies are so nerdy  :blush:

It is hard to say which one I would most want to have without knowing what they are. Though I was bummed JP Morgan bought that collection of George Washington's dirty jokes and burned them to protect GW's reputation. Man that would be awesome to have.

Aren't they slowly reading the library of herculaneum via xray microscopes or catscans or something?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The lost first page of the Bible.

You don't think "In the beginning..." is the beginning?  :hmm:

The first page is just acknowledgements. 

To Shlomo and Hodel Goldberg, for their patience and for letting me crash on their couch.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

The possibilities are endless.
Hitler's Twitter feed would've been something too.

Wouldn't most lost works be, you know, lost, so we don't know that they existed?  :hmm:

I wouldn't mind reading something from Atlantis or Mu. :cthulu:

Some, like certain old Norse sagas, are referred to in later sagas, for example.
But on the whole, a rather good point.
"Why I'm A Dick" by Plato would be my choice.
