Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, this week's topic: Top Ten Books I'd Want On a Deserted Island
1. A Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss - this one is a little more action packed than The Name of the Wind - also it's longer and I think length is important when you only get to have 10 books.
2. To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis - again, this is a pretty lengthy book and it will fulfill any sci-fi or comedy of error yens I may have.
3. Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen - gotta have a book that's great for rereading over and over again!
4. His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman - because I'm a cheat and I know you can get all three stories in one volume now :)
5. Still Alice by Lisa Genova - for when I want a good cry.
6. Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson - for when I want a good laugh.
7. Siddhartha by Herman Hesse - for some spiritual enlightenment.
8. The Bible - again it's super lengthy and I've never read the entire book.
9. Ulysses by James Joyce - because why not get ambitious when you're stuck on an island?
10. SAS Survival Handbook by John Lofty Wiseman - this will likely be the most used book.
I love your lists! I always want to read at least half. This one is no exception. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to read a single book on your list!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that book cover of Garden Spells, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI also cheated with my list and put His Dark Materials on it! (and LotR and Harry Potter)They're just amazing books and I wouldn't want to be on a deserted island without them! Great list!
