I am an old lady and a slow reader. What with learning spear fishing and recuperating from falling while trying to pick coconuts, these three books would keep me amused for the rest of my life. My pal Molly, upon hearing about my answer here, has just said that I am cheating by taking volumes of the complete works. Since I own such tomes, I would think I would be allowed to take them. If I am breaking the rules, you can come to the dessert island to arrest me.

My earliest memory of a "grown up book" is Huckleberry Finn, because kids growing up along the mighty Ohio River, seemed to receive a copy of it somewhere along the way to mark a grade-school educational achievement.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-62679029609625072002019-09-28T05:45:10.944-04:002019-09-28T05:45:10.944-04:00BLACK BEAUTY was one of the first books I can reme...BLACK BEAUTY was one of the first books I can remember reading, Caro and I still name is as one of the most influential.Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-78334464612557256352019-09-27T13:05:20.634-04:002019-09-27T13:05:20.634-04:00Somewhere between the 10th and 50th read, ANY book...Somewhere between the 10th and 50th read, ANY book would become, first, mindnumbingly tiresome, and, second, fire-fodder. So, I would take three very large volumes of blank pages and a large box of pencils. Guaranteed to keep me entertained for years.
