"The Great Gatsby" because it never gets old, "The Hunger Games" just in case I need to learn how to hunt, and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" because it's the one book I have been dying to read for months.

"The Lightning Theif", because it is my favorite book of all time."Sea of Monsters", because i need the the sequel to the "Lightning Theif".
And finally the "Titan's Curse" because the "Sea of Monsters" ends in a cliff hanger.
If there was not a limit to how many books I would bring, I think i would bring every book that i have ever read with me and maybe some interesting new books that i've had my eyes on.
I would bring my iPod so I can read as many books as I want to
Lol in that case, I'd bring my Kindle. Too bad there wouldn't be Internet connection :/
Well if already downloaded the books we won't need it
I don't think desert islands have electricity lol
The Sight because its my favorite book, Inheritance because its a big book and would keep me busy for at least a couple days, and a book about surviving on islands
Very true! I'd spend all my $$ on e-books before I left because, I mean, I'd never need $$ again. :)
And yes, lol, no electricity either. No matter what books I had with me, I'm not sure I could survive without a microwave or shower haha
What if your nook/kindle died!?!?!? ran out of battery, got sand in it, fell into the water...
I would bring 
,
because it's such a beautiful book to look at, and one, very thick, very long book I hadn't read yet. :)
Lol kindle would never really work! :) I'm sticking to hard copies! Haha
A survival bookHarry potter the deathly hallows
City of bones
3 books.... OMG..! The perks of being a wallflower, The scorch trials and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire... =D
One book would have a reading light...that I could signal ships with.The second book I would use as a hat, protection from the sun.
The Third would book would be a flotation device, maybe a childs bath book.
Well this is such a hard question to answer. This might be cheating but I might have to go with one of the Nora Robert's trilogies. I guess the circle trilogy. I will have that a three books in one, to be the first book. Then my second book would be whatever I am currently reading, the one thing I would hate the most would be to leave a book unfinished, especially if I am enjoying the book. I would then bring a survival book. I know that I will need it. I might be good at camping, but I will need to a book to help me identify plants that I can eat, and give tips to help me survive living on an island.
Um...I'll download all my favourite books then bring my iPad then I'll bring my iPad charger then I'd bring some sort of solar powered thing that can charge my iPad. Is that cheating?
Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings all three in one book, Infinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon

The Black Lyon - Because I will never stop rereading itFifty Shades of Grey - Because sex
The Giver - Because I find this book to be amazing
Okay so I'd combine all of Cassandra Clare's books (even the ones that haven't come out yet; lets just say they have okay? okay) into one book,"How To Survive Being Stranded on a Desert Island", and.....jfc this is so difficult.....maybe the whole Percy Jackson series combined into one.
Im assuming I've had survival training lolI would take a bible Im not religious but I've not read it all and it would keep me busy
the complete works of Shakespeare so I can act it out
and maybe the millennium series as a change of pace
Oh drat I own a huge book with all Shakespeare's works I will take out Infinity for that. Though I do it with a heavy heart

Yeah especially when it contains all the notes for the series.I love it. I use it as my reading copy so my others don't get ruined. It is a doorstopper big book.
Inkheart (book of my childhood, how can I NOT take it?), His Dark Materials trilogy all in one, Inheritance (haven't read it yet)
His Dark Materials Trilogy, Life of Pi, and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I know that's technically 7 books, but if I take them all in one, it counts as 3 ;)
Let's do it well then...I would go for a trilogy probably. Considering that I would surely turn mad talking to myself, I want to speak out loud with good characters. That's why I choose:
The Hunger Games
Catching Fire
Mockingjay
Well, either I'd want books that I can see myself re-reading often or books that are stupidly long to keep me occupied. I'd definitely take The Odyssey. I also might mix it up and take a graphic novel, probably Watchmen (although it would be hard not to have any Spider-Man to read) and then for my third one...maybe a big collection of short stories so there's some variety, probably Tennessee Williams.
I'd also consider having an audiobook so I'd at least get to listen to another human's voice.
complete collection of Jane Austen...twisted perfection...and the tiger's curse books
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (or the whole series if that's legal), one of those giant F. Scott Fitzgerald books with both short stories and a few of his novels, and The Bible.
Only three books!Hard to choose, I like so many books but I'd probably bring The Memory keepers Daughter by Kim edwards because the writngs rich and the story never gets old,bridget Jones Diary and the housemaid and the professor
so presumably we are not stuck forever but a long time? Dantes Inferno (the one in Italian and English so I can learn something stimulating)
Game of Thrones
Complete works of Shakespeare - I've seen it in Dymocks so its real.
Catching Fire, Divergent, and the City of Bones
Yeah, I can't do this. There is no way I could part with my library.
Don Quijote, LOTR and complete works of Oscar Wilde.
A how to book on how to survive on a island (practicality) a book that I know I would never finish otherwise Moby dick (I struggle every time to finish this) and Jane Austen
1. How to Survive Anything, Anywhere (for the obvious reason) 2. Confessions of a Shopaholic (so I can relive my previous life before being stranded on the island)
3. Pride and Prejudice (so I can dream of being in Mr. Darcy's arms -- okay, Colin Firth's arms -- while trying to stay sane)
the Bible the help and the book thief!!!!:)
My three in progress novels (these don't count). Works of Louise Erdrich, Doris Lessing (because every time I run into writer friends these are the two writers they're always reading), and all of Capote because he knew how to tell a good tale. And, of course, someone (preferably male--just because it might be long stay) brilliant and good with their hands to read out loud to.
-something about life, like
-Something about love and religion, like
-and something hilarious like
:)
This is a very difficult question! Haha. I would probably bring The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley, one of Eloisa James' books, and probably Romeo and Juliet just so I can have a romantic classic.
The BibleHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
The perks of being a wallflower
1.
The complete works of Jane Austen, because no matter how many times I read P and P I can't help but read it again. Also it can't hurt to have the others as well just for amusement.2.
Balefire Omnibus because there is just something about how Cate Tiernan writes.3.
Katie MacAlister's Guardian series all in one. Will need a little comic relife and who doesn't love Jim?
1. Anna and the French Kiss (to make me laugh, love, and smile)2. Dash & Lily's Book of Dares ( to remind me off the snow and Christmas romance)
3. Gallagher Girl Books ( to help me think of a cool badass way to get OFF the island)
Either Divergent because its my favourite dystopian romance book of all time and Tobias is my boyfriend or The Hunger Games because even though I have read them 3 times they still give me chills and Peeta is another one of eighteen boyfriends. Or I would bring the Mortal Instruments because they're my third fave series and with there being 5 so far all having 500-550 pages they would entertain me and take care of the time
I would bring Gone, the dancing bear and the deadkind of strange coming from a nine year old Huh.
The Bible, Ishmael, and the complete works of William Wordsworth.
