Ah! This is more like it, now!
1. The Dark Tower series by Stephen King - this counts as 1 book, ok? Hmmph. Anyway, it's such a great series. Eddie Dean is in it. And, in typical Stephen King fashion, most of the books are very long so they'll keep you occupied for ages on that island.
2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - ok, it's kind of a typical choice. And I'd like to say that I'm not a huge fan of romance novels/movies at all, but this is probably the most perfect book I've ever read.
3. River God by Wilbur Smith - I only read it just about a month ago and already miss Taita. Plus it's another long one.
4. Watership Down by Richard Adams - I pick this because I've already put it to the test - I've read it loads of times and I'm still not bored with it!
5. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer - in fact, give me about 1000 copies of this. It might get cold at night, I need something to burn on a fire.
And these are only books I've read. Ideally I would like to bring an entire library with me. Books are really where it's at with me. I figure also that in the blistering heat of the tropics you don't want anything particularly long winded, so I selected fun reads. Apart from Twilight, but I explained that.
