My Three Deserted Island Books

Prompt: You're trapped on a deserted island with three books. Which three do you want them to be?

My Answers:
Probably predictable and not too clever, but here they are...

Book 1: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling- I have more than one full chapter of this book memorized already... I would happily work on memorizing the whole thing! I would need my fill of Remus and Sirius goodness, no matter where I was. This is my favorite book ever and I've read it dozens of times. I don't think I'll ever get tired of reading it, on a deserted island or elsewhere.

Book 2: Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon- I had a hard time choosing this book. Diana Gabaldon's Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade very nearly won this position. Both push a lot of my buttons for a good book. Lord John has the better sex scenes, I'll admit. But Dragonfly is simply longer and I can't ever say no to a man in a kilt. Glad to have one on board in a deserted island.

The first two books are set at least partly in Scotland. So what about the third? More from Scotland? Well, I suspect Scotland is technically in it. But it's not what you think.

Book 3: International, Unabridged Dictionary- Merriam-Webster? Oxford English? Random House? Doesn't matter to me. I could be absorbed in so many great words I never bothered learning before. Also, the more pages there are, the more fires I'd be able to build. I'm pretty bad at starting fires; I could use all the help I could get and I'd never be able to use the other two books as kindling, that's for sure.
