Sex, I mean, Six Desert Island Books

I hadn't ever considered which books I'd want if stranded on a desert island, but I was asked this question by humorlife.

The problem is, I'm not big on re-reading fave books. I am all about novelty in every area of my life. So, Genie in the Bottle, I want sex, I mean, six new books to show up every time I get to the end of the previous six.

But, that would be cheating. And I do not cheat. But I do bend the rules to suit me.

Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity." Actually, I'd rather have the DVD (and a DVD player, of course) starring John Cusack. I have a huge crush on John Cusack, and I think Hornby's one of the cleverest<b> writers </font></b>on the planet. I adored his latest: "Funny Girl." I even read "Fever Pitch" about his love of soccer because he makes any topic interesting.

Rita Mae Brown's "Rubyfruit Jungle." I actually read this one a few times many years ago because it made me laugh out loud each time. When I told my brother and sister I loved the book, they exchanged knowing glances, sure that was a sign that I'm gay and didn't know it. They were wrong. I'm bi and like stuff that makes me laugh.

Barbara Kingsolver's "Prodigal Summer." Springtime, the budding, flowering and opening of plants has never been sexier.

"Guide to Getting it On." It's super thick and has answers to just about any sex question you might come up with. Who knows...with all those hours on a deserted island...maybe I'll dream up questions I don't know the answer to. After all, we don't know what we don't know.

Pablo Neruda's "100 Love Sonnets" in both English and Spanish. Entirely beautiful.

Okay, so the top five rolled right off my fingers. Now...for #6. Gimme a good survival on a desert island book. I need to figure out which berries are edible, how to build a fire, make condoms from banana leaves, or if it's truly a deserted island, carve myself a BBB (Big Black Bill).

Yep, that's my list. What would be on your top six list?

 Humm, I would take at least ten books.

I like the Pablo Neruda book, as I have it.
I will have to ponder on this
