Top Ten Tuesday: Books To Take To A Desert Island
Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This week the list is Top Ten Books I’d Want On A Desert Island. Here are mine in no particular order:
1. Desert Island Survival for Dummies – I’m sure there is one of these or something like it out there. And I’d need it to survive long enough to read the rest of my books!
2. The Sibley Field Guide to Birds by David Allen Sibley – I love birds and on a desert island I’ll have plenty of time to watch and identify them.
3. The Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov – A science fiction classic.
4. A collection of stories by P.K.Dick – A favorite author of mine even though most of his stories are dark or surreal.
5. Replay by Ken Grimswald – My favorite time travel book.
6. Complete Stories and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe – It’s been sitting on my bookshelf now for quite a few years. It’s over 800 pages and I’d have lots of time to finally get through it.
7. The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett – Another one of those huge books I’ve been wanting to read.
8. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon – Another lengthy book that I’ve been meaning to tackle.
9. The Seasons of the Robin by Don Grussing – The life story of the North American Robin written as fiction. Coming up soon in my to-be-read pile and I wouldn’t want to miss it while stuck on an island!
10. P is for Peril by Sue Grafton – I love this series of books. And just for fun I’d sneak in a few of the other alphabet books while no one was looking.

Ah smarting thinking! Dummies survival guide! I was thinking about bringing a book along like that but couldn’t think of one/didn’t feel like searching! I should have known that those Dummy guides had one! And I really like that you put the bird book on there..because I feel like I have some random interests that could possibly be explored more in depth on a deserted island!
