FH's post got me thinking... You know the old "If you were on a deserted island (or planet, for 'Gaters), what [fill in the blank] would you want with you?" questions, with the blank being top five books, movies, person, etc. So I'm wondering what choices folks here would make.
My top five books (in no particular order):
Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman
To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis
Eyre Affiar by Jasper Fforde
Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook by Josh Piven and somebody else (hey, something practical!)
Collected Stories by HP Lovecraft (being lost and alone isn't scary enough)
Top five movies (don't ask me how I'd play 'em without electricity):
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Galaxy Quest
Princess Bride
Secret of NIMH
Bringing Up Baby
Top five choices of who(m) I'd like to be trapped with (real or imaginary):
1. Jonas (betcha we could find ways to keep ourselves busy while waiting for rescue
)
2. Luke (might be handy to have my own personal chef)
3. Jeff Corwin (dude can be annoying, but his knowledge could be useful)
4. MacGyver (not for his looks, but 'cause he'd get us home fast and he could probably also figure out a way for us to watch those movies)
5. Rupert from Survivor (don't like him much, but he can catch food)
If anyone has any other ideas for desertion lists, feel free to go wild.
