What would it be?

Barring some sort of huge, multi-author anthology, mine would likely be THE STORIES OF RAY BRADBURY, the collection published in the early 80s.

Holly | 33 comments Any SK book would do just fine. :-)

I agree, Holly. I might have to stow Brain Droppings by George Carlin away with me somehow, too.

Holly | 33 comments Awesome :-)

I'm reading Duma Key at the moment, been a while since I read King. UNDER THE DOME was the last of his I read. Enjoying DUMA so far.

DUMA is my favorite of King's recent works. I really loved it. DOME was good, too. The latter is being made into a mini series at the present.

Holly | 33 comments I loved Duma Key! It's been quite awhile since I've read that one.

I don't know, an extended desert island stay might not be complete without my Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy collection. Can I do that?

Lee (leeshirk) | 22 comments I would have to say IT or Under the Dome.

Unless of course box sets can be counted as one book, then I would take Harry, Ron, and Hermione with me.

Give me The Dark Tower Series, please. If that's permissable.

IT is definitely a solid choice!

Angie | 65 comments I loved duma key , but ghosties scare me so the second half of the book was bad for me but in a good way.

I liked cell as well. The first time I read it I was a bit high (ok a lot high) :) on iv steroids and I couldn't read it as it really freaked me out. Lol. I've read it a few times since though.

So for my desert island book it would either be the set of Stephen king s as they have to count as one big book, or Brandon Sanderson s books cause they also count as one. It has to work that way or it just isn't fair :)

I just picked up CELL for 25 cents today (10-15 pence?) haven't read it yet.

Cell was pretty good. It was a fun read, but one that gets panned quite a bit. I have a hhardcover edition that came with a pretty cool poster, much like the copy of From A Buick 8 I have.


message 16: by Angie (new)

Angie | 65 comments I have all my Stephen king books in hardback, I get them as soon as they get released. As for cell I thought it was great. Lissys story was good as well, the only one I've got and still not read is 11,22,63. It's sat on one of my book case's. Is it any good?

Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 266 comments Mod
It is wonderful! One of the best he has written, in my opinion.


message 18: by Angie (new)

Angie | 65 comments Well then I'll have to read it now before the new one is out next week.


message 19: by Adam (new)

Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 266 comments Mod
Yes. I would love to hear your thoughts, Angie. Get ready for something completely different.


message 20: by Dustin (new)

Dustin Oh man, I could never pick just one!!

Gregor, smart choice!


message 23: by Gregor (new)

Gregor Xane (gregorxane) | 11 comments Thanks, Evans. Figured I'd starve to death if I brought anything else.

The only better choice I can think of would be an edible book. :-)
