Writer's Block: More Island Time

Mar 08, 2009 14:47

I'm a little upset that I can only bring 5....
1) George Orwell's 1984, this may quite possibly be the greatest book ever written in my opinion.  I've read it countless times and It never seems to get old to me.  I've worn out 2 copies and had to buy yet another.

2) Elizabeth Wurtzel's Prozac Nation.  or Victoria Leatham's Blood Letting.  Each is a Memoir of a Girl suffering from/recovering from some of the mental illness' I'm hoping to treat someday.   They're both really well told stories and They keep me focused on the fact that the diagnosis and treatments I'm reading about in school have a face, a body and a heart.  They're people too not just disorders.

3)Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince I have other books I need to bring so I picked my favorite H.P. since I can't bring all of them.

4) One of Sigmund Freuds books, I haven't really read any of his books fully and I think stranded on an Island I would need a good laugh. (While I understand that he's the Grandfather of Psychology and blah blah blah....he was kind of a loon)

5) Twilight, Eclipse.  The scene where he leaves her in the woods... for some reason it rips my heart out every time...   OR Wicked.

There's about 700 other books I'd want to bring but If I could only choose 5 those would be them.

books, writer's block, desert island
