The Goodly Ungodly On Desert Island Discs...

[sandyRoe]

You've selected your discs, have the complete works of Shakespeare, now what about the Bible? Are you going to take it? If not, what other book would you bring?

SAS survival handbook.

I thought you got the Bible anyway, so I'll take The King James version (I like the language)
And
The Book of Lies by Aleister Crowley

[cupid04]

My hymn book.

William Cobbett - Rural Rides

Just the most perfect mixture of curmudgeonly old bastard and genuine radical, documenting his trips through 19th Century England

Harry Potter?

I couldn't see much use for the bible on a desert island even for theists. Leaving aside the contents, it's hardly a good read is it.
Agree with Mojo but I'd want all of Adams work. I have read and re-read HHGTTG several times and it has always made me laugh.

The thin pages of a typical bible would serve as cigarette papers if the castaway had any tobacco.

If you are a quizzer,think what trivia questions you could learn from the bible. For my other book I think I would like a complete collection of books by Leslie Thomas.
