You can only take one book to an island

[evlove]

Since we’re approaching Christmas, let’s all pretend we’re going to a warm, sunny desert island. What book would you guys take? You can only pick one!

[evlove]

I apologize for the terrible question. I think I’d probably take Duma Key by Stephen King. Theres a lot of quotes and lessons in there that I apply to my life

[Shreya]

Normal People by Sally Rooney (idk why i connect with that book so much)

[Katlyn]

Love and other words by christina lauren

[Erica]

The Master and Margarita ❤️

[Squire]

Basho: The Complete Haiku. Not my favorite book, but one that I pick up every now and again, read a few Haiku to relax.

Love unwriten by Lauren Asher <33

I think I would have to take a book that I read a long time ago, found it to be excellent, and know I will enjoy rereading it. So, The World According to Garp.

[Paola GB]

i would take a guide to survive on an island. LOL

[Lizz]

Count of Monte Cristo - it is thick enough to be used as a weapon and is a great story.

[kikbim]

I second the Count of Montecristo. It can get you through everything.

[Nora (Grayson's version)]

the secret garden!

[Katlyn]

Les miserables

[Lorna]

Jane Eyre!

[Gloria]

omg. this question is super hard. I'm not a big re-reader of books. but I'd have to say the bible on this one. otherwise the largest book I could find that's thriller or horror???

[Ellie]

The Roads Chosen, Ben Carlyle.



The story gives hope. A hope for the most unfortunate.

[Bibliophilic.girl]

queen of shadow. i love this book. i think i can survive anything with this book.

[ˡⁱᵛᵛʸ]

i'd take dear mr. henshaw by beverly cleary

[Gabby]

The complete works of William Shakespeare. I can’t live without The Bard. I am obsessed and have been since I was 14 and saw the Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh Much Ado About Nothing movie.

[Erica]

I would bring my Bible.

But also I should mention, there is this book that John Green, the author recommended years back called An Island to Oneself by Tom Neale, published in 1966.

"Tom Neale (1902-1977) was a New Zealander bushcraft and survival enthusiast who spent much of his life in the Cook Islands and 16 years in three sessions living alone on the island of Anchorage in the Suwarrow atoll, which was the basis of this autobiography."

And I've wanted to read it for the longest time, but it is not a book that I have been able to get, but sounds so intriguing. I saw it on Amazon once, for $100+, and there is no way I will pay that much for this book

But my Bible and reading this Island book while being on an island, alone and isolated would very intriguing to read.

[Glenda]

The Beartown series by Fredrik Backman. I know that’s 3 but you have to read them all. Excellent series.

[Lisa]

A blank journal and pen

[sarah]

Island of the blue dolphin. Inspirational for a person who is stranded on an island. True story which gives hope and strength to face what may come with fierce determination to make it out alive.

What the new BRandon Sanderson book called??? That? 1300 pages. It can also double as a weight. No i haven't read book 3, or book 4, but I can be confused by myself.
