As for my book? A really, really thick porno mag.

Non-fiction: Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstaeder | +1 and that weird pre LOTR book or whatever it is. I could never get past the first chapter but if I was stranded on a desert island, I probably could. |

I'm a strange reader. I almost NEVER ready novels or books but digest TONS of business and business related magazines and technical writing I might try some books on the iPad when it arrives. |

| | | | The Holy Bible.
Lots of inspirational reading, many pages for fire starting, and thin sheets for cleaning of the back door.
Forgive me but I am a practical person.

Oh, and I'd want some other stuff as well.  |
