I picked Massie, and Chris as *my* soulmate!
I picked Massie, and Chris as *my* soulmate!

Here goes:
Travels with Charley - Steinbeck
The Golden Compass - Philip Pullman
The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon
Naked - David Sedaris

To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee
The Complete Shakespeare
Prince Ombra - Roderick MacLeish
Marvels - Alex Ross
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain

I like your inclusion of David Sedaris. You might well need to have an occasional chuckle while on the island, which I had neglected.

1. The Portable Mark Twain
2. The Complete Poems of Sylvia Plath
3. Small Gods by Terry Pratchett
4. The Thousand Nights in a Night
5. The SAS Survival Handbook (well, I am alone on an island, right?)

1. dandelion wine by ray bradbury (always gives me the warm fuzzies)
2. a tree grows in brooklyn by betty smith (for some reason i can read this one over and over)
3. zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance by robert pirsig (another one i can read again and again and always take away something new)
4. the portable john steinbeck (a bunch of great steinbeck works all condensed into one volume)
5. the dharma bums by jack kerouac (gotta have some kerouac in there)

Atlantis (Mark Doty) to give me hope.
The Power of One (Bryce Courtenay) to give me strength.
The Swiss Family Robinson for when I feel like I'm the only one in the world that has been stranded on a deserted island.
Breathe, You Are Alive (Thich Naht Hahn) for clarity.

OED unabridged
i ching
the CS Lewis Space Trilogy (yes, it's all in one book)
Richard Brautigan's Trout Fishing in America, The Pill versus The Springhill Mine Disaster, and In Watermelon Sugar

if i had to take just one it would be The Amber Spyglass.
such great books.
- Ragtime, Doctorow
- Notes from a Small Island (the irony alone is worth it), Bryson
- The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Chabon
- The Town and the City, Kerouac
- The Lord of the Rings Volume (It's not cheating for Tolkien wrote all as one; okay, it's kinda cheating), Tolkien
of course, if it was a dessert island, books would be my second concern. all that chocolate would be my first.
