Ye Olde Desert Island Game

If you were going to be marooned on a desert island, and you could only take three books besides the bible, three movies, and three CDs, what would you take?

For me--

Books:
Mansfield Park, Jane Austen
Till We Have Faces, C. S. Lewis
Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkein

Movies:
Pride and Predjudice
Persuasion
and I will have to think about the third, but probably a Pixar movie, maybe Finding Nemo, so I could hear Dori sing 'just kep swimming, just keep swimming....'

CDs:
This Side, Nickel Creek
Storm, Fernando Ortega
The Messiah, preferably the two-disc complete version with Kathleen Battle as Soprano.

  • I'd like to have a copy of the dictionary, Hasall's History, and the Dictionary of Early Christain Belief. I'm sure I'd eventually learn to appreciate the enormous potential which I'd have to actually finish Hasell's History!

    I wouldn't bring any movies. Know why? It's a desert island, yo! I suppose it'd be considered legal tender among the natives of the neighboring islands, though, so I imagine I'd get some.. Andy Griffith. Just in case they ever did anything besides eat it, you know. ;-)

    Once again, I suppose that if the purpose is for using CDs as a source of money, I guess I'd have some hymns or something. If this island has electricity, then could I bring my laptop too? :-)

  • Oh, for my last movie: Muppets of treasure island

    Great movie. If anyone has doubts as to whether to see it. You should. It is a great movie.

  • relatively speaking, of course. One could say that it really is only "great" because there isn't anything much better. Human entertainment. So limited in its ability and yet so consuming in its demands for attention and time. Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven..

  • Everything is relative. Thats is a given. Greatness is only an opinion.

  • Hey polemic turtle, just a question. Who are you?

    By Blogger X, at Monday, August 01, 2005 6:48:00 PM  

  • Darkside, not everything is relative, as you ought to know after this year's HH theme! "Buy the truth and sell it not, also wisdom, instruction, and understanding!' 'Let God be true, and every man a liar!' "Thy word is truth!'
    Can't you just hear Uncle Zack?

  • Preach it, sister! ;-)

    By Blogger polemic turtle, at Monday, August 01, 2005 8:49:00 PM  

  • Sorry, frased it wrong. "Well, it's all relative"

    And as you should know, all doesn't mean everything, nor everything, ever single thing that there is. If that were true then: "God so loved the world..." would mean that he love the world, which he does not. It was defined to a special group and in that, the whole. Everything was ment to be everything that dealt with great, small, large, tall, and stuff like that. I am sorry for not better describing what I meant. (My own thought process is not really intellegable except by me and this shows it) Do not think me so absent-minded as to think that the whole world and everything about it was relative. That would be crazy.
