♥ Nothing Better Than Reading!! ♥ discussion

Wow this is a hard question
I think I would take
The Geography of You and Me ( a romance which I fell in love with )
Shatter Me ( a dystopian book which I loved )
Vampire Academy ( a fantasy book : loved this series)
My favourite books from my favourite genres :)

I would take:

Auto-da-Fé by Elias Canetti because it's my favorite book
On the Shortness of Life by Seneca because I would have to be reminded how short life (even on a deserted island!) is
Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino because it always gives me food for thought

paper towns
cinder
revival

Harry Potter by JK Rowling,
Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan
And
The Fault in our Stars by John Green

Jemima J: A Novel About Ugly Ducklings and Swans
At Last
The Alchemist

The 10th Kingdom
Anna and the French Kiss
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (and a towel)

I Hear that about the Kindle. And you know what with the way technology is going I think that solar power Kindle is just around the corner. :)

That would be really awesome! I think the have solar powered chargers already! I have a very old version of the Kindle but my tablet has books too and I can read at night with it. :)

My Expositor's Study Bible
Troublesome Creek by Jan Watson(lots of survival tips in there)
A Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers

Any Calvin & Hobbs book - I would need a little humor in such a situation

Mrs. Mike - one of my all-time favorite books ever

Winter Garden - another favorite book, I like the mother / daughter and sister / sister / relationship

This is a tough one. You need to consider the size of the books, the genre of books, the variety of emotions the books elicit, and their re-readability. I could be on that island a really long time. Now, had the option been series, this would have been easier. Alas....
1. The Bible - I'm a Christian, so that seems like a given, but it's really a great choice for anyone. Besides the positive message that as a reader I would get to bring into my l life everyday, it also has many, many stories and many characters and does elicit a great deal of emotion. It's not a book that I could or would get bored with.
2. Complete Works of William Shakespeare - Much like the Bible, this would have hundreds of hours of reading and contemplating. Lots of emotional push and pull and I would have very little chance of getting bored.
3. Ender's Game - This is the one choice I'm not entirely sure of. For one, it's a short book and a quick read. Also, it's a sci-fi novel that is very focused on one character. Still, I have read this book a few times now and every time I feel like I learn something new. There is something about how the adults manipulate, Ender and his siblings learn to work the systems and just the sheer audacity of Card's choices in this book that constantly amazes me.

Very good point. As long as you are pretty sure you are going to enjoy the books you do choose.

Wow, that's a hard one...
Definitely new books by favorite authors. So:

All the Stars in the Heavens , Flame of Sevenwaters, Remarkable Creatures




But, of course, that's just how I'm feeling at this moment in time. I recently took 8 books with me on a 10-day vacation!

To Kill a Mockingbird
Ramona Forever
How to Stay Alive in the Woods: A Complete Guide to Food, Shelter and Self-Preservation Anywhere
The third one is just for the heck of it! Hehe
