    Desert Island Brakediscs

    You are going to a deserted desert island. You will be on your own and cannot take anyone with you. You will be there for 6 months. You will be comming back. There is no electricity on the island. Your food shelter water hygiene needs etc are all taken care of. You have a photo of family/loved ones/the bikes already.

    You can bring THREE other things with you. One Book, one CD and one other item.

    What would you bring - and why?


    Me:

    Book - the complete works of William Shakespeare - beacuse all of life and every emotion known to man is in there somewhere and it will easily fill 6 months.

    CD - Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan - Because the man is a god and the CD contains Desolation Row - the best song in the world ever and I could listen to it forever and still find something new in it everytime I hear it.

    Other Item - set of juggling balls.


    Whats yours and why?

    Item # 1 seems unnecessary if you have item # 3.

    Book; Giant book of Suduko puzzles, keep the brain sharp.

    CD; Guilty by Barbera S, you could melt to that voice and be glad of it.

    Anything else; Collection of art equipment and teach myself to paint/draw. Might as well get off the Island with a record of the event as well as a new skill

    Actually this is sounding quite appealing, I'm off
