While skimming through a book about modern day hermits I came across an interview with an American poet
Robert Lax.
The interview made its way to the subject of possesions and eventually, books.
"Take the five books you'd take to a desert island and keep re-reading them."
-Robert Lax
I thought it would be interesting to share top five lists, not for a desert island but just one year of reading.
My hypothetical list:
1. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
2. Lilith (George McDonald)
3. Fight Club
4. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
5. House of the Dead (Dostoyevsky)
I don't know if I could go all year without some non-fiction, I was considering the Bible but then I wanted to put a bunch of other texts along with it. I tried to choose books that had alot of depth to them and rich characters over more plot driven titles.
There you go, Im curious to see what books others would choose to "study" for a year.
