You are going to be on a small desert island for a year. There are no bookstores, and shipping to the island is a problem. Space is also a problem.

What books do you bring?

Ok.. Some specifics:

The island is 26 miles long and one mile wide. (Look it up: Providenciales in the Turk and Ciaco islands) there's sand and sea turtles, but no Barnes and Noble.

E-books from online are a viable option, but sometimes, I need books on paper for comfort; the act of turning a page or two lulls me to sleep at night.

Already in the library:

The Call of the Wild Jack London

My Antonia Willa Cather

The Brothers Karamazov Fydor Dosteovsky

Now... Your suggestions?

Wow that is a tough one. There have been a few time in my life when I have said, "I wish I was a reader". I guess that is kind of strange for a language freak like me. About the only thing that I read are dictionaries and short-attention span articles. I probably could count the number of books that I have read all the way through, on both hands. So, my list:

A multi-language Dictionary
A 500 page blank notebook and a pencil.
