Youre a wrongfully convicted death-row inmate awaiting lethal injection a week from now (no exoneration possible)

You are entitled to read one last book and order your last meal before parting with life.

I’ll start
The Brothers Karamazov and feast mode from The Boiling Crab.

My last book will be the original Swiss Family Robinson, too.
My last meal? Lammlachse w/Pfeffersauce, Steak with Gorgonzola spinach sauce, A selection of malty beers, indian chicken curry, a selection of sushi. Katsudon, esterhazy torte, ice cream...

Rabelais' complete works
Lot of good wine and a huge cassoulet
If I'm going, might as well go with a good old fashioned fart. I'd hold them back until the end, so that I'd only fart at the exact moment of my death, I'd also pay a guard present at the execution to say "his spirit is leaving his body" as I let off my last fart. I'd do a lot of bad pun prior to that, like when they come to take me I'll tell them "where have you beans? and where are going friends? I hope it isn't too fart". I'll wink at each pun and try to touch the guards asses to make them awkward.

Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius... Though I might refuse a book and instead write and read out a letter protesting my innocence.

As for a last meal... I think I would order a crapton of food and then not eat it. It would be my last act of defiance, I wasted all this time and money of the jailers to gather this food. And I don't take a single bite because essentially the 'last meal' is to assuage the conscience of the executioners and make them feel that they are doing something charitable. I wouldn't want to give them the satisfaction.

First consider the nature of the experience itself: the absolute privation and the ever-present countdown to the final moment.

Now consider the sort of individual who finds themselves in that situation. Overwhelmingly they're going to be stupid, impulsive people. Someone who walked into a liquor store with a pistol aiming for booze and a few hundred dollars. A drunk who clobbered another drunk to death in a bar parking lot with a hammer. A nigger who killed another nigger for his spot on a corner. A mestizo who tattooed the crime scene of his drive by on his chest all of these happened. You think they're going to be contemplating Aristotle's Metaphysics while they wait to be strapped in? Or are they going to obsessing about the needle or the gas for years like a caged animal.
