Desert Island List
Einstein said that any given person stranded on an island somewhere would long for their 10 favorite books. reading that made me want those 10 books, from everyone! so.............
imagine that you're stuck on a desert island. you find a mailing box washed up on shore (ala Castaway) and inside of it is an iPad. (sadly, no internet) downloaded to the device, however, are your three favorite movies - or books - or CDs - or games. so spill. pick a category (movies, books, CDs, games) or add one of your own. post the best of your best, as many as you like, as often as you like. let's see what we can inspire one another to watch - read - listen to - or play! 3 desert island books: The Freeway (by Dori DeCamillis), The House of Mirth (by Edith Wharton) and Lilith's Brood (by Octavia Butler) next! |

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 |

Ok...books...I would SO want to cheat and just bring a kindle...but if I have to play nice.... books would be: 1. Little Women...its my go to feel good book....I have to always have a copy ...not like Catcher in the Rye sort of need but...anyhow... 2. I like to have a book of poems by both Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson... I'm very devoted to my New England roots 3. I suppose practically I would like to have a book on surviving in the wild....if that's cheating too much then my Backpacker magazine..... Movies: 1. Last of the Mohicans 2. Fried Green Tomatoes 3. Dirty Dancing CDs 1. Red Hot Chili Pepper's Blood Sugar Sex Magick 2. anything by Lady Antebellum 3. Led Zeppelin's complete collection I will probably feel the need to add to this as I think of more |

Geez...only three??? It's so hard to narrow it down!
1) Bag of Bones - Stephen King 2) Colony - Anne Rivers Siddons 3) The Complete Works of Rumi Of course...I am now looking at the list and changing my mind. Just three books is a tough choice for me.

If only given three total I am afraid I would select music that has sound tones like Tibetan Chakra Meditations and other meditative music. Maybe a nice jazz sound track. At least by stimulating my mind I can activate my imagination and heal.

gentle judging ahead
Quote:
i'm tres girly and i hate all 3 of these movies so let's not define them using that word, ok? my idea of exceptional girl movies is a trifecta of Memento followed by The Prestige and all tied up with a bow by American History X. three exceptionally "girly" movies because they were brilliant and i'm a self identified girl and i LOVED THEM. so now i'm gonna exert my secret OP rules and make you choose 3 more!
