Ian's Idea of Desert Island Books.

On my desert island instead of taking records/CDs you have to take 8 books, 1 record/CD, and 2 luxuries. Here's mine:
The World of Jeeves. (Jeeves and Wooster anthology.) PG Wodehouse.
The Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry.
The Millenium Trilogy. (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.) Stieg Larsson. (This is my current Read.)
A Merton Reader: Various writings of Thomas Merton.
Seven Pillars of Wisdom. TE Lawrence.
'All I Ever Wrote' - The Complete Works. Ronnie Barker.
My record/CD: The Planet Suite of Holst.
Luxuries: A box of pencils and stacks of paper.
On the original programme you took the complete works of Shakespeare and the Bible.
Well I would take a modern translation of the Bible, and instead of Shakespeare I would take 'The Definitive Visual Guide to Art,' it is a book with over 600 pages of paintings.
Well that is my selection, I wonder if that reveals anything about me.
What would other forum members take, give it a go I found it fun trying to limit my selection to such a small number, I could of named hundreds of books. Go on give it a go.
