I guess people don't like books anymore. No-one has posted here yet, so I thought I would. Which books would you take with you to a desert island and why?

I would take Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut Jr to a desert island.
Why?

To read (and possibly eat)

It is so difficult to say -
myths and legends from allover the world
poetry from antiquety to net
short stories - Doroty Parker, Cantrin Mansfield, Ernest Heminguey, Japanese short stories, and many more
significat novel I've read is Norman Meiler's "Armies of the night"
in fact my favourite books are lost books - the books I used to have but I've lost
Jack Cerouack - "Subterranians"
Pol Bouls "Sheltering sky"
Salvador Dali "Hidden faces'

are we allowed a few books?

prose would be "love in the time of cholera" by gabriel garcia marquez but would also hope that my bag could hold "sometimes a great notion" by ken kesey.
poetry would be needed also - we have to feed the soul;-) and this would involve a copy of selected WB Yeats and maybe David Hinton's anthology "mountain home".

just think that it's not possible to have a favourite. and even with these four i already see the flaws in my choice.... umm
