wheelieterpYou 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?

I end up re-reading these books every so often, because they are long, intricate, and I always find something new in them.
