Feyd 01	May 4th 7:43 AM If you were stranded on a desert island, what books would you most like to have with you?
Robin H.	May 4th 1:51 PM "How to survive on a lonely island" or something along these lines. Little Herber`t's "House" series. (I need something to get that fire started.) Playboy Collection (Hey, it`s lonely) And finally, "How to escape from a lonely island". :-)
the mule User ID: 0534004	May 4th 4:23 PM Robin: Too bad the Gilligan Island clan didn't have your forethought! Dune (obviously), a minimally abridged version of the Bible, The Lord of the Rings series, and the Complete Idiot's Guide to Surviving on a Lonely Island (I need things explained to me in pictures!) the mule
Feyd 01	May 4th 11:36 PM Heehee You guuuuys.... :-)
Thufir	May 5th 10:13 AM I would want all the Dune books, including the prequels. I would also take FH's Destination: Void and its sequels, anything I could get by Bernard Cornwell (the Sharpe series, etc.), the Dragonlance Chronicles & Legends Trilogies, Moby Dick, Huckleberry Finn, Wuthering Heights and some Faulkner to try and figure out.
Feyd 01	May 5th 12:22 PM That’s a very good selection you have there, Thufir. Myself I particularly like Destination: void + 3 sequels. I have read a Sharpe book (Sharpe’s Tiger) and it was very good.
Thufir	May 5th 1:46 PM I really feel that Destination: Void and its sequels are on par with Dune. Cornwell rights great historical fiction and always makes me want to explore more of the real history behind his stories.
Thufir	May 5th 3:02 PM Apologize for the last post. Of course Cornwell writes not rights. D'oh!
Nora FJ	May 5th 4:18 PM 1. Ok, the Lord of the Rings to put me to sleep. 2. When I wake up again, I gotta have something good to read, so I will read the 9 Dune Books. 3. When I am done with them, I will read The White Plague. 4. Now, hopefully I will find my way off this island.....:-D ~Nora FJ~
Taqwa! User ID: 9627953	May 5th 11:52 PM Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth... okay, all the books of the Bible :) Nothing has anywhere near the replay value of the Bible. I might have "The complete works of Shakespeare" and/or some large history tomes - on a lonely island I might have the time and patience to read them. Oh, and "Escaping a lonely island, with bonus attached extra-handy survival and escape kit" :)
Feyd 01	May 6th 12:24 PM Good choices, Nora! Ah, you like The White Plague, too! Taqwa! : I bought the complete works of Shakespeare, and never read it. :-) One day.. Thufir - I agree. I don’t understand why they don’t reprint Destination: void and its sequels (perhaps in a box set?)
Thufir	May 6th 1:46 PM My dear Feyd 01, (sorry about the Baron impersonation!;))what a great idea. Hopefully the Herbert estate will come to this realization. I don't see how they can't since they are already reprinting several other FH works.
Nora FJ	May 6th 6:05 PM Yes, I like the White Plague a LOT! Also like Hellstrom's (horrifying ;) Hive..... Lol Feyd! As for the complete works of Shakesphere, I have started it, but never finished it!! :-D As Feyd says~"one day" :) ~Nora FJ~
Feyd 01	May 7th 11:19 AM LOL, I like the Baron impersonation, Thufir! :-) Next time Brian Herbert does an “online Chat” I’m going to put it to him. I’m going to demand they be reprinted! :) Nora: “Hellstrom's (horrifying ;) Hive”.....LOL is also my favorite! I like a bit of horror in my sci-fi! Hehehe! ? : Yes, the Stand is a classic, Nora again: I REALLY like The White Plague, too. it sort of shows the possible roots of the Bene Gesserit?
the mule User ID: 0534004	May 7th 9:44 PM Re: Destination: Void, et al. This is why I never throw out, exchange, donate or loan out books I enjoy...too many good ones are hard to find or aren't in print. Example: I still have my college copy of the complete works of Shakespeare, too, not having opened it in 20 years. Needless to say, the moving companies hate me.
Feyd 01	May 8th 1:42 AM Hey, Thufir, The Jesus Incident has just been reprinted in the UK...interesting...you may have to highlight, copy and paste this link into your browser: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1857989457/qid=1052376255/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_2_1/026-2477840-8158812
Feyd 01	May 8th 1:44 AM the mule : LOL! All the best books are out of print..this is something I have learned :)
Thufir	May 8th 9:57 AM Thaks for the info Feyd 01!
Feyd 01	May 8th 10:19 AM you're welcome, Thufir!
Nora FJ	May 11th 7:24 PM I agree Feyd!!! :-D ¤~Nora FJ~¤
