Monday: If I were stranded alone on a deserted island with only seven books to read over the next few years, I would like to have…I’ve spent a remarkable amount of time trying to think how I’d get the maximum number of words in just seven books, but really, it comes down to content. Who and what would I want to spend my time with?Here is my list:
- The NIV Study Bible
- The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Norton or other annotated edition)
- The Complete Works of C.S. Lewis
- A History of the English-Speaking People by Winston Churchill
- An Enormous Anthology of English-Language Poetry
- A Comprehensive Annotated Atlas of the World (including star charts)
- An Encyclopedia of Art (Gardner’s or similar– the most comprehensive available, including music)
In addition, I’d like an enormous trunk full of blank paper and pens and other art supplies. If Robinson Crusoe could snag all the useful stuff he was able to salvage, I’m sure I’d be equally blessed!I’ve enjoyed the exercise, and look forward to reading your choices.
