Country of the Pointed Firs and Other Stories -- Sarah Orne Jewett
Joy in the Morning -- P.G. Wodehouse The Best of Wodehouse -- P.G. Wodehouse Mansfield Park -- Jane Austen The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose of John Donne Masnavi -- Rumi Lord of the Rings -- Tolkien Western Wind: An Introduction to Poetry -- editor Frederick Nims (I taught this book many times and came to love the poems Nims selected.) The Complete Sherlock Holmes -- Conan Doyle A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life -- Santideva (Maybe I would become enlightened on a desert island -- no distractions. It's possible. Might as well try.) More poetry than I would have thought. And no Faulkner. Well, I need to be comforted and entertained on a desert island. Not counting these among my ten because, although I would want them with me, I probably would not read them for pleasure: The Boy Scout Manual A Guide to Edible Plants |
