11 Books I'd Bring to a Deserted Island

Sort by:

Showing 11 items

8.7

1. The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafón

The best book I ever read. I just like to have it with me.

Mackenzi's rating:

8.8

2. The Last Unicorn - Peter S. Beagle

The most beautiful book I ever read; reading it is like finding an oasis of beauty, and it gives you a lot to think about, so it'll keep my mind busy.

Mackenzi's rating:

3. Jonathan Livingston Seagull - Richard Bach

A book that I've come to love more than any actual religious text. It'll help me get through the hard times.

Mackenzi's rating:

8.9

4. Blood Bound (Mercy Thompson, Book 2) - Patricia Briggs

I can't get by on just the spiritual/beautiful stuff, I need a little sexy entertainment as well.

Mackenzi's rating:

7.3

5. The Last Battle (The Chronicles of Narnia) - C. S. Lewis

The first book I read of the series, it's the most meaningful to me, even though it's also very sad. A good one for when my last days may be spent in isolation.

Mackenzi's rating:

8.8

6. The Little Prince - Richard Howard_II,Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I probably wouldn't read it often, it is so sad, but I'd like to have it just in case. To feel like someone else is going through what I am deserted and all alone.

Mackenzi's rating:

8.5

7. Where the Sidewalk Ends: Poems and Drawings - Shel Silverstein

A book to remind me about the good, wholesome things I won't be able to have anymore.

Mackenzi's rating:

555

7.4

8. Lord of the Flies - William Golding

I've never read this book so I figure I'd want something new there with me, to help keep me sane. And it's got a relevant plot.

244

7.6

9. Jurassic Park: A Novel - Michael Crichton

Adventure and a little horror. It takes me a while to get through Crichton books so it'll help pass the time.

Mackenzi's rating:

7.9

10. Ivanhoe (Penguin Popular Classics) - Walter Scott

I like to read Ivanhoe every few years to see how differently I interpret the story, and I bet it'll be a whole new experience if I'm stuck on an island.

Mackenzi's rating:

6.9

11. The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook - Joshua Piven

Well duh. ;)

I'd need a steamer trunk to take all the books I'd want with me if I were stuck on an island...or perhaps a notebook or laptop w/ a nuclear battery that never ran out, where I could store them all. ;D
