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?

Hmmm... where to start?
George R R Martin's "Fire and Ice" series when you need intrigue, Charles De Lint when you need solace (My favorite is Memory and Dream if you can find it). Karen Travis' "City of Pearl" for some amazing sociological sci-fi, Robin Hobb makes a great summer read in her "Farseer" series.
