if you could only take....

I realized at some point that coming here I answered for myself the question of "If you could only take three books with you to an island where you'd live for the rest of time, what would the be?"
Not that this is the rest of time, but that I couldn't pack a lot, scratch that, my normal amount of reading material. And I don't really have access to a library. Not buying books. Not borrowing from other people here. Just the three (or four) here.

I thought I'd share.

1. The Bible (I brought NIV) -- Because really, it has the basics of so much literature. So many stories I haven't read. Good stuff.
2. Thurber: Writings and Drawings (one of those Library of America books) -- Because it's my favorite, make-me-laugh, bedtime book. For years. I really should re-cover it.
3. Life Prayers -- Because it was a gift from work. And it has prayers and meditations that I hadn't read yet. And because I stuck in the cards from work people, so it makes me smile.
4. (if you count it as a book) My journal -- Because I have to have something to process in that's just for me.
