Summary

This quote highlights the difficulty of choosing favorites. Comparing picking favorite books with picking the five body parts one would not want to lose suggests that both decisions are extremely challenging. Just as losing a body part would cause a great loss and inconvenience, selecting only five favorite books seems limiting and unfair to the multitude of other valuable and cherished books. It conveys the idea that having to choose implies sacrificing and missing out on potentially amazing experiences and stories.
