The island has a DVD player (which plays CDs), which is linked to a television set which runs off coconut juice. book: the complete p g wodehouse music: the good the bad and the ugly (2-disc bootleg) film: groundhog day |

If I were stranded for my entire life, each item would become extremely boring after exploring ever facet of it. So my answer would have to be a boxset of some sort for each category, so I could craft some kind of tool out of it that's useful day to day. |

this poses an interesting dilemma for me, should i stick to the topic and choose what i actually would want on an island as if i had nothing else or should i just bring my favourites? book: how to survive on a desert island. music: digital drugs film: something long like War Or Peace __________________________________________________ book: brothers karamazov, i need to finish it, but i dont think i ever will. music: aphex discography film: andrei tarkovsky's solyaris |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Brothers Karamazov went pretty smoothly for me, but I think it's actually unfinished. |

|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why would you read it again? It's pretty straight forward the first time. |
||||||||
|
|

You know how they remake films, like "The Ring" for example? Well I was thinking that they don't often remake books. Sure, a similar tale can be told by different authors, but as to actually re-writing a book, I don't know how common that is. Not very, I'm going to posit, for the purposes of this post. And one of "my ideas" was to re-write Joyce's Ulysses, word for word, and call it Sisyphus... yes, dwell on that. It's kind of like intellectually calling into question, I don't know, all sorts of shit, right? To answer the original question however: BOOK: "Bad Wisdom" - Bill Drummond & Mark Manning (It ALWAYS makes me laugh, and I'd need cheering up) MUSIC: "SAW 85 -92" - Aphex Twin (I've listened to it enough for the past 15 years, I'm sure it'd last the other 3 months tops I'd manage to survive on an island) FILM: "The Spy Who Loved Me" (Classic Bond, and ideally I'd die at the point when it says at the very end of the credits "James Bond will return") |

What kind of TV set are we talking about here? And what kind of a stereo system? Where does the electricity come from? These are some of the questions that would keep me from getting bored. book: kant's critique of pure reason music: orbital - in sides film: mulholland drive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

dammit, thanks for reminding me, obviously i would throw kant in the dustbin and take ulysses instead (not your soddy pirate edition)... even now it's staring at me ominously from under my desk, beckoning me to a shipwreck |

I still haven't read Bad Wisdom which is awful of me. I've only heard excerpts read by Drummond. |

I envy you though as, very dearly, I'd like to be able to read it for the first time again. However, if I carry on this banal path of self-destruction I may yet reach a level of forgetfullness that will enable that.. happy state of affairs. |

You mean the book by Albert Camus? Don't wate your time with it, its' just a pile of nonsense. Anyway on a desert Island paper is precious so take the biggest book you can, which contains the most paper. |
