That'd make an awesome name for a bookstore, wouldn't it? xD
But, on to the real point of this thread: If you were stuck on a deserted island, which five books would you want?
Assume that you weren't thinking clearly enough to grab any survival books as your cruse ship/airplane was going down xD
As for me, my top five would probably be (in no particular order):
~Lord of the Flies by William Golding - Besides the irony factor, it's a good story.
~Holes by Louis Sachar - Again, a good story.
~A book of comics of some sort, like one of the Calvin & Hobbes books, or something like that - Good to lighten the mood a little, and I could keep track of the days through a "daily comic" system of some sort.
~My Spanish textbook from college - Hey, I'm stuck on a deserted island, I may as well practice my second language xD
~The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks - I haven't had a chance to read it yet, and hey, I'll be stuck on a deserted island - all the time in the world, right? Plus, I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with surviving on a deserted island, so it totally doesn't count as a survival book.
Feel free to not only post your own lists, but to comment on others' choices, too ^.^

my-superstar Hmmmm...The Five books I would take along with me would be... 1. East Of Eden by John Steinbeck (good book and because it's a school book I haven't finished reading yet lol) 2. Lisey's Story by Stephen King (interesting and haven't completely finished it) 3. A book about video games(I'm a video game fanatic, If I can't take video games I might as well take something thats about it blaugh ) 4. Probably would take my Philosophy or History Textbook 5. Auriel Rising by Elizabeth Redfern (Never started reading but looks interesting lol) A fellow King fan and fellow video game fan? ^.^ Lisey's Story is a great book.
What's Auriel Rising about?

Yep. I hope that's not weird. lol. The more reason for me to finish reading Lisey's Story. ^.^ Auriel Rising is about A man by the name of Ned Warriner who lives in London, England. He won a letter that's addressed to Auriel that contains the secret of the Philosopher's Stone about how to make money. He's wanted for a crime I do not know of lol, and a man's threatening him with blackmail. The man wants a to trade the letter for Ned's safety. Not only that but he has a true love that's married and the two want to come back together, but with him being wanted they can't.

my-superstar Sheer_Immortal If liking both is weird, I don't wanna be normal, lol. xD Auriel Rising sounds cool. I shall have to look for it at the library... Lol. I know for sure Auriel Rising's not in my school Library. I bought it a while ago when a bookstore was having a clearance sale because they were going bankrupt. I bought sooo many books. So far I've only managed to read 3 of them. XD Oh, nice. I love clearance sales xD
I have easy access to two public libraries (hopefully a third soon, if I get the job), so hopefully I'll be able to find it ;D
