I read many books and picking a favorite is really hard, but if I were stranded on an island I want the book Cinderella: Ninja Warrior. Even though this book is not my fav (or terribly well written) the author wrote the book so that you can be Cinderella, at times, and make her decisions for her. At three different points in the book Cinderella comes to a cross-road where she has to make a decision. The book gives you two choices (such as run away or stay at home) and you can choose what you would do if you were in her shoes! This book can be read 8 different ways, and therefore I would not get bored so fast re-reading the same book.

interesting choice! It seems like a good idea to pick a book that can have multiple endings because you can keep reading for a whole and not get bored of the same endings over and over again.

Good choice. I think I would choose Pride and Prejudice... Or A Game of Thrones. Actually, I think I might have to go without a book, because then I would spend all my time on the island berating myself for not picking the RIGHT book.

If I was stranded on an deserted island and could bring my favorite book with me I think I would have to bring The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks because its every girls dream relationship. I have always liked this book just because his writting style is fantastic and his word choice is amazing. His descriptions are very in detail. I would be very relaxed reading this book on the beach and just losing all the stress that I have.

I would pick The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo if I was stranded with only that book to read. It is the only book that I could read once then reread it multiple times more. The plot is so intricate and fast-paced. I love the style that Stieg Larsson possesses in his writing. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and its sequels, are very unique and different from other books. Although they may be violent, his books have extraordinary themes behind them. The writing is fantastic because you can never solve the problem until the end of the book. The twists and turns are so entertaining, and the characters are incredibly deep. Now, after writing about it, I want to reread the book again.

If I was stranded on a deserted island with my favorite book, my book would have to be "The Foot Book" by Dr. Seuss, Growing up it was my favorite book with it's silly words and pictures and I think having that part of my childhood with me somewhere I didn't know would be comforting also given the fact I don't read very many books. The book is very childish but it would make me laugh and keep my memories with me.

If i were stranded on a deserted island i would bring "Without Remorse" by Tom Clancy. Clancy is one of my favorite authors because he writes about things that are out of the ordinary and that you do not usually hear about. The majority of his novels have something to do with the military. I have never really had an interest for the military until i read this book. It opened my eyes to things i would never have guessed actually happened. This book has a mix of violence, love, and thrill. The book is also very lengthy and would take a while to finish because of the challenging military terms and large vocabulary. It would keep me completely absorbed while on a deserted island by myself.

If I was stranded on a desserted island I would bring "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. It is one of my favorite books. I love the plot behind it, even though it is a little bit disturbing. When I was reading it I couldn't put it down. I love how it mixes adventure, action, and romance into the story and it is about people that are our age. Also, I love the characters that the book focuses on. It shows you how sometimes kids can be the bigger people and act most like adults. The second and third book are amazing too, I read both of them in one day. All of the books are the perfect read while you are on a desserted island and you might learn something to help yourself too.

Once, I read a book that mentioned that book. I grew interested, so I sought it out and bought it. Recently, I read it. It contains my favorite type of storytelling: the kind so simple and perfect that you float through the book like a dream. The words are so seamless that you gather impressions from paragraphs instead of verbs and adjectives, and a general gist of the novel is what you come away with. However, It is also a highly quotable novel, with interesting themes. Your choice was a good one.

If I were stranded on a deserted island with only one book, I would choose "The Breadwinner" by Deborah Ellis. The first time I read this book was in 5th grade and I soon became obsessed with Deborah Ellis and her work after meeting her at my school. The Breadwinner is an amazing book about a girl who must disguise herself as a young boy to save her family, as the Taliban will not allow women to provide for themselves or leave without men. Being able to read about a girl who must take the role of child and father is extremely empowering, I could read this book several times over and never get sick of it.
Tiffany, I read this book for summer reading in 5th grade. At the time I did not like it. I really had not thought much about it since, but when I read your comment it made me think about the story once again. Now that I am older and have a better understanding of the historical context surrounding the plot the comment made me realize how good of a novel it is. Thank you.
I really don't have many favorite books. That is not to say I don't read often because I do, but usually when I real it is a magazine like Sports Illustrated ir Inside Lacrosse. When I do read an actual book it is usually a book that I really like and I am into so they are sort of all favorites. However, If I were to be stranded on an island I think I would choose the classics, something like "Robinson Crusoe" or "The Swiss Family Robinson". Not only are they classics and sure to be a goood read, but the information I read in the books may apply to my suitation and offer me some helpfull insight.

I own a lovely edition of the original Grim Fairy-tales. It is a leather book with golden embossing, and is one of my prized possessions. I would take this with me to the island because it is incredibly long, but never boring. Each story is only about four to seven pages long, and as soon as you read them, you forget them. This makes it an ideal book to bring to an island. After all, like what Tara Ward said, rereading a story is incredibly boring after a while.

The books I would have with me would be the Witch & Wizard series by James Patterson. It's hard to choose which one I love the most because it's a series so I would have all 4 with me. I love how James Patterson writes. Ever since I was young, I always read his novels like the Maximum Ride series. He likes to write a lot of mysteries, action, drama, and a little bit of romance which is the kind of combination I like to read in a book. Keeps me on edge throughout the entire story.

My favorite book is without a doubt The Bell Jar, by Sylvia Plath. As I read, I felt as though I was reading an autobiography about myself. It's amazing to me how closely I can relate to the main character, Esther Greenwood, and it troubles me to imagine that someone so much like me could become so disturbed. I have the same personality type, career goals, and mentality as her, and it really made me think deeply about my future. Just like Esther, I am the type of person who has so various talents and goals that I cannot choose amongst the many paths I could take in life. I've spent much of my time wondering if those paths will begin to disappear, as I continue to put off my decision, the way she did. Yet I am still unable to sacrifice any one dream to pursue another. The Bell Jar is a fantastic book, and I would definitely recommend it. I could read it over and over again, so if I had to choose one book to take with me, that would be it.

One of my favorite books of all time are the Captain Underpants series of books. Although an extremely easy read, to tell the truth I wouldn't really be reading if I were stranded. Also I would want an easy read so that I could get back to surviving the wilderness as opposed to reading a book. Or maybe I would bring Snow Falling On Cedars because it was an interesting book that i could read repeatedly throughout my days on the island. But then again I don't like reading so I would have to think this question over quite a bit in order to pick the very best book in order to read over and over and to help my time pass quickly as I'm stranded.
This is very thought provoking Ian, I have never read the Captain
Underpants series. Do you think I should read it? If you think it is a quality piece of literature than I think it would be worth my time to read it.

The book I would Bring if I was stranded on a deserted island would be a new series of books i have started reading called "Shadow Falls". I am currently reading the first book of the series named "Born At Midnight". I havn't read that far into it yet but i have read enough to know that it is an interesting book to me and i want to keep reading the rest of it. While I am stranded on this island im going to need some comfort and/or things i can relate to. The main character in the book is very relatable to me. I can relate to the way she observes things, talks, and acts. The only thing i cant relate to is the fact that she has a special gift or power. Having an interesting fictional book with me will keep me from being bored and spark my imagination if i do happen to get bored.

If I were stranded on a island and could only bring one book with me I think I would choose "A Farewell To Arms" by Ernest Hemingway. The reason why I choose this book was because after I read it I was blown away by the ending and I am still blown away by it. Even though I can't relate with the main character's problems becuase I haven't been to war or been married to someone it is still very intersting to see how things play out. Also I really like it because it has so many hidden messages and themes about war and love and it just makes you think what is important in life. It also displays the horrors of war and why it is a horrible thing instead of a place for glory. I also could reread this book and still have the same effect that it had on me the first time I read it so having the one book could not be a problem. Also as I struggle to live on the island I can think of what the main character did to over come his problems and I hope that it can give me insperation to live on.

Awesome choice Brandon, I love that book. I could imagine myself reading that on a island all by myself.
If I were stranded on an island and could only bring my favorite book with me, I would probably bring "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. Not only is it a fabulous movie, but it is also a well-written and interesting novel. I read "The Help" for the first time last year for an English project. Almost every night I would lose track of time reading and end up going to bed late. It was so hard to put it down! Most of the time, I never really enjoy reading a book for a class or a school project because I feel like I am being forced to read something. This book helped changed my view on book review projects, especially if the teacher lets you choose your own novel. I now know to take advantage of that privelege and choose something I know I will enjoy!

If I was trapped on a deserted island, I'd probably bring, which wouldn't be any surprise to those people know me, the Hobbit because while it's a relatively short book, it's one of the greatest adventure stories out there. Who doesn't love a good adventure dealing with dragons and enchanted forests filled with spiders? I'd bring that book because no matter what mood I'm in or how I feel, that book always seems to find a way to make me smile or find something I never noticed the first or second time reading. The Hobbit is such a wonderful story that's been around since the 1930's when it was originally published and it's timeless and a book I could read again and again and not get bored, which I'll probably end up doing regardless.

If I were stranded on a desert island and could bring only one book, it would be The Help. I really like the book and think it teaches a lot about stepping into someone else's shoes. It shows how hard African-Americans had it before our world became segregated. The white people didn't even treat them like human-beings, but more like dogs who were only but on earth to work and cook. Skeeter shows a lot of courage by writing a book showing how African-Americans really felt during this time. It's very sad to see how they were treated, but it's inspiring to see how they kept on going and didn't ever give in.

If I had to pick a book to bring on the island I would most likely choose Picking Cotton. To Kill a Mockingbird is actually very similar because it involves a trial of a man being accused of rape. I have already read the book twice because it is so intertaining and I try to come up with ways I would have seen the case if I was the judge during the trial. The book was also written in two different points of view. I found this very interesting and helpful because you got two sides to every story which made things very clear. This book would keep me occupied because each event is very important. I never got bored with reading it and it made me want to have a career in law more than I already did.

I'm not sure if that's the allegory you were talking about, but it's how I interpret it. It's hidden message would really keep me motivated. It would also give me good topic to think about, which is a good use of time on an island.

I feel like this novel would give me idea's of how to survive and keep moving forward and would also keep my spirits up. This novel tells many ways of how to survive if you are strandad and that is one of the many reasons why I love it. I also love the novel because of its dense plot and how it talks about animals alot as well because i like animals just like the main charecter. I also like the message the novel gives the reader, to never stop no matter what gets in your way i feel like it is some powerful words of wisdom. So all in all this is why i would what to have "The life of Pi" with me if i was ever strandad on a island.

I'm stranded on a island. what book would I have? It would have to be act like a lady think like a man because I like to read things that I can relate to the real world. I like to try new things and I enjoy lessons in life and just trying new things to test then our and see if they work. I enjoy the categories of the chapters. So if I were stranded it would have to be this book I would love to have.

If I had to pick one book, I would have to pick "Cryptid Hunters" by Roland Smith. I just really love the books story line. Plus, it's about two kids stranded in the jungle. That might help me with my survival skills. This book has plenty of curve balls. I'm not going to give them away in case anyone hasn't read the book yet. It would keep me interested until someone came to rescue me. This book has a sequel, but it's not as good as this one.

If I were stranded on an island with only my favorite book to keep me company, I would chose to bring "The Circus McGurkus" by Dr. Suess. I chose this book because it has been one of my favorites since I was little. Also, as a child my mother always read this book to me and I know if I was stranded on an island I would miss my mom like crazy because we are extremely close, so I think reading this would remind me of the memories we shared and help ease the pain of missing her!

If I could bring one book it would have to be The Giving Tree. My mom always used to read this to me and I still love it. It would give me comfort on the island to know a piece of my home is with me, When i read it really do feel at home. The giving tree is about a boy who plants a tree and the tree gives everything away to him as he grows older. By the time the boy is old only a stump remains and he uses it to sit and think. I would be deserted on an island, but I would have something to give me comfort the whole time.

If i was stuck on Island i would want to have the book Diary of a wimpy kid . Why? Because that book it is very interesting and it relates to high school life. It has pictures and keeps my attention. It is also very humorous and has many different stories in one .
