Oooh. Now that's a question.

I'll have to go with
1) fresh mozerella, tomato, basil with balsamic vinaigrette
2) rosemary chicken with provolone
3) French dip

I like *Good Poems* but I wouldn't take it...not long enough. [Smile]

I would have to say either the complete works of Jane Austin, or if not found in a single book version - Pride and Prejudice as it is my all time favorite book. The LOTR trilogy in 1 book (which I gave Kwea for Christmas one year [beautifully leather-bound and all]), and something from Laurell K. Hamilton [Eek!] to spice things up a bit while I'm stuck on said island. [Evil]

I suddenly realized that we are experiencing a dearth of Noemonic sandwichosity.

I'd want three books I'd never read. If I ended up on a desert island and the only books available were books I'd already read, I'd be bumbed. But the problem with books I've never read is that I can't yet be certain whether they would be any good.

That considered, I think that I'd like to have my complete works of Shakespeare along. There are still numerous plays and sonnets I've never read and the ones that I have read can stand rereading numerous times.

I've noticed that quite a few people at Hatrack (an IRL) enjoy reading certain books over and over again. I don't. It seems a pity to reread a book when there are so many I've never read. I can think of a few exceptions, generally classics that I read 20 - 30 years ago. Reading them now from a different life perspective is worthwhile.
