You have to spend eternity on an island and only get to bring a single book. What would it be?

Is it really that good?

This. But I'd get an addition with all the books not just 1 and 2

I like military history especially
battles against the odds so I'd take
'Last Stand' (Bryan Perret). to keep my
spirits up.

BTW Last Crusader (Lessing) great painting!

I'll be good for a bit.

Either the memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant or The Anthropic Cosmological Principle.

Physician's Desk Reference

Hollowed out. Inside, waterproof matches, iodine tablets, beet seeds, protein bars, NASA blanket, and, in case I get bored, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." No, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." Question: did my shoes come off in the plane crash?

The complete works of Kurt Vonnegut. No it's not a meme. No I'm not from Reddit. No I don't think he's the greatest novelist. His novels are just perfectly suited to that understanding and taking in that kind of existence.

The Karamazov Brothers.
