I cried so much reading that once I could never bring myself to even consider it a second time!
I don't like to re-read books, so all I can have on my list is the only two books that I've ever purposely read more than once. This Perfect Day - Ira Levin The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - Stieg Larsson |

mmm. a bit of a quandary... but for one go.... in no particular order
House of the Dead: maybe the best of Dostoyevski Waiting for the Barbarians.....J.M. Coetzee The Hunger....Knut Hamsun.... For all Writers...and want to be writers Post Office.... Charles Bukowski.... cause yes..most of us have had crap jobs in our lives.. Woman in the Dunes.... Abe Kobo.... cause a year on an Desert Island would start to make me go KRAZY but if I had a pencil and a pad.... I would love to write some songs as good as Tom Waits... Paint some Paintings... Like Hieronymus Bosch...if there were some nice Mushrooms to help my paining... ![]() Last edited by hidari; 05-03-2012 at 11:29 AM. |

As for the 5 books, thats tough. I do reread some books, but not a lot of them. I stuck to actual books here and not ebooks. Its really got me thinking about the books I really like. Not to mention the convenience of ebooks. I like have the complete works Poe and Dickens in my pocket! ![]() 1. The Collected Storie of Arthur C. Clark 2. Edgar Allen Poe Collected Works...Sadly I would need to replace my book as its just falling apart. Can't bear to part with it. 3. History of the World by Roberts 4. Tale of Two Cities by Dickens 5. Isaac Asimov The Complete Stories vol 1 |

Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe (as if being on a desert island is not scary enough)
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon (cause I love baseball, and the Red Sox) Best Woman's Erotica for 2012 (cause those nights are long) Complete Book of Finishing Techniques (but it would be unfair not to have yarn, as well) The Collected Novels of Jose Saramago Last edited by Sydney's Mom; 05-03-2012 at 03:56 PM. |

ah, I'm tired of such lists, not even mantaining anymore any progress. I'm still reading a lot. A lot like I never was before my mobile device allowed me entering a library at any time, any place...

My list would have to include Gone with the Wind, The Once and Future King, and The Magic of Shirley Jackson. But I can't decide on the last two.
