Ok, standard stuff. Deserted Island (deserted by whom?), just you, all eternity. What book would you have with you?

The Hitchiker's Guide to the galaxy. The actual guide, not the novel, mind you. It'd probably have useful tips.

Juxtapose: You are aware that the full entry for Earth in the Guide is 'Mostly Harmless'. I do not think that you could strain much useful tips out of such a narrow description. Otherwise, good choice.

Is this a deserted island with an abundant supply of easy to access food and matches? Because otherwise I'd have to take a boy scout how-to survive in the wilderness type book.
But if you just want to know what one book I'd like to have with me if I could only ever read one book again ... I'd like to say it'd be my Quad (Bible, Book of Mormon, etc all in one) ... but I'd probably rather have Believing Christ by Stephen E. Robinson, or possibly The Chronicles of Narnia all-in-one hardcover in original published order - although I'm not sure that book exists.
It couldn't just be a good book, it'd have to be one I'd be willing to read over and over and over. And I've been reading Narnia over and over for years and still keep getting more out of it.
Ooh, when Alvin Maker is finished and comes out all in one hardcover, I'd take that!

Any book from my highschool's library--cause that Librarian was one mean woman, and would track down an overdue book no matter where it was hiding. And she'd bring me back, just to serve the detention for daring to endanger one of her books.
Do you know how bad it is to serve detention when you're 42?

I'd take the Bible, but if I had to choose something other than that (if say, religious texts are off the table) then Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, which really is one book, just split up for publishing purposes so it all counts as one. Really.
