My most treasured possession
What's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

Most of my books
I would let burn, as I can replace them- but have you ever tried to find a copy of "The Houses of Ism" or "Chateau D'If"? Jack Vance is mostly out of print and damned hard to find. My collection has taken me years to assemble.
Larry Niven can be replaced, as can "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" and the Tao Te Ching and all of my Robert McCammon books. But Vance I would brave the flames to save.
