My wife says I am brooding.I had no idea that the mere removal of trees would ever affect me this much.
So in an effort to distract myself, and inspired by this blog entry, I've decided to create my own Deserted Island Reading List.
In no particular order:
1) Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
2) The Structure of Evolutionary Thought by Stephen Jay Gould
3) The Herbal Medicine Makers Handbook by James Green
4) Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian; if booklady gets to claim a 20+ series of books as one entry... why then so do I!
5) Traveller's Library compiled by W. Somerset Maugam
6) Battle Cry of Freedom by James MacPherson
7) Chess For Zebras by Jonathon Rowson
8) The Complete Walker IV by Colin Fletcher
9) The Hugo Winners (Vol. I & II) edited by Isaac Asimov
10) Robert Heinlein: A Readers Companion by James Gifford along with The Best of Robert Heinlein by RAH himself.
A nice mix of history, literature, fiction, science (I am after all a physics and biology teacher), and general knowledge books.
