Can anyone suggest the title/ author of a book I once heard about? It contains dozens of conversation starters - things like (and I paraphrase): "If you were offered to live forever, but only on condition that you were ugly, would you take it"?

Maybe The book of questions by Gregory Stock?

Could be: If... (Questions for the Game of Life) by McFarlane & Saywell, 1995

There are tons of these types of books. Check Amazon.

They're even a collection of party, phone, and TV games now, called Zobmondo.

I'll second Gregory Stock's series of books. He did at least three of them.

Thanks for the responses. I think it is "If: Questions for the Game of Life" - cheers, found missing. But I'll check out Gregory Stock's books too.

Agregoli - your response was no help at all - I wouldn't have come to AskMe if I had been able to find the book easily on previous Amazon and Google searches.
