Journal Writing Prompt 35 - The Desert Island Scenario

We've all heard of this game, probably even tried it.

What would you take with you if you knew you would end up on a desert island, alone? Robinson Crusoe had the good deal. Not all of us are going to build a pretty house in the forest. So let's forget the essentials.

Let's stick to books.

Say you have to leave the rest of your life (however long that might be) with only 10 books at your side. (No e-readers - so none of that thousand books in one device kind of thing).

What books will you pick? Why? 10 precious books...if you are anything like me, the choice seems impossible. And of course we can't REALLY be sure until we are in that situation, but let's have a play at it. This might reveal what books are important to you. They would probably be the ones that shaped you, that made you smile or cry, that changed your world in some way, however little.

So go have fun....

  1. The life of Pi by Yann Martel would definitely be on my list.

  2. Patricia,

    It's interesting about different tastes, isn't it? I read The Life of Pi, and found it incredibly dull. I have never been able to understand what the fuss is about with that - but then that's why we are all different :-)
