If you were stranded on a desert island...

[tylerdurden]

what 5 books would you bring?

[Electronic Cigar]

The Stand by Stephen King
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Each one is a story of love, sacrifice and acknowledgement that our time is all too brief.

I would bring a book on survival, a book on raft building, a book on uncharted islands, a book on animals, and Man's Search for Meaning.

Sorry if that seemed sarcastic. I don't know which books I would pick, there are a lot of good ones to choose from.

2. The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand

I would take all parts of Harry Potter, but there are 7 of them as I remember. I would take 5 first:)))

I would bring a book on survival, a book on raft building, a book on uncharted islands, a book on animals, and Man's Search for Meaning.

Wow, this is so practical. Wish I had thought of that.

[ConnorIsaac]

Reading book at that situation is hard to think. Only think will come to my mind water water water

[flashgordon]

I guess I would bring 5 philosophy or metaphysical books. If I am stranded, I want something that I can read over and over again. Some Plato, perhaps Socrates, some Nietzsche, and maybe Rousseau.
