So, today is list day. A list of books, bands and films that I can return to . It is obvious from my list that having only three items to choose for the desert island could be a problem. (and this is only books/films and music – where would chocolate and my Clarins cream fit in?).
Let’s begin.

(This list is off the top of my head and I have only allowed myself 24 hrs to consider if there is anything missing. I don’t think so, but you can guarantee when I hit publish all sorts of tracks/books will be coming to mind that I wish I had listed).
So, it is quite clear from my list that each area has its own flavour. Even my favourite books are not by my chosen authors. What about you? What would feature on your list?
Great musicians there!
John Grisham?! Pluh. 😛 You need to upgrade to Steve Martini and Scott Turow. Their writing style is MUCH better. Grisham creates awesome stories that translates over into screenplays well, but he writes like a 5th grader. LOL. Okay, so that was probably a bit of an exaggeration, but still. If you like him, you’ll LOVE Steve Martini. 🙂
My three items for desert island:
1. Bible
2. Journal (I’ll probably go crazy after a month, so I can just pretend my finger has ink on it.)
3. One of those kids’ toys that look like a mini racket with a ball attached by an elastic string. LOL
Oh yeah nice move. My son has one of those cup and ball toys that i spend hours playing with! Best present that I EVER bought him ha ha!
If your 3 items were a computer, internet connection, and a credit card, then you could still have all of those other things. Just download them. That’s probably what I would do. Assuming that there is electricity on the island, of course. If not, then I would have to drop the credit card and make electricity the 3rd item. I could still watch and download all the free stuff.
The lack of electricity could be a problem if I consider my need for chocolate, what would I do about a fridge??
Very clever idea about downloads but I do think it kinda ruins the fun…but then I don’t even download my music as I like to but a ‘proper copy’.
I’m afraid to even begin a list like this. What did you like about the film adaption of “The Lovely Bones?”
I have never seen the film adaptation. The book created wonderful images in my mind, which is why it is one of my all time favourites. I wouldn’t want a directors viewpoint to ruin the memory.
Understood. I wish I’d done the same.
