You are trapped in that room from the other thread, but you get to bring a little entertainment:
5 books
5 movies
5 albums
You're going to have to live with these choices as your only entertainment for a year. Choose carefully.
I personally have no idea what I would choose right now. All I have so far are three books.
The Bible - I've always said I would read it one day. This would be a good time for it.
The Godfather - Puzo
Ringworld - Niven
I know I would have to choose a comedy, an action flick, one great smut film or a really good movie that happens to have a lot of smut in it, a movie that actually makes me think, and no idea for the fifth one.
Albums, I have no clue yet. Great albums from different genres is all I can think of right now.

No fair choosing "complete collected works" or trying to call a series one book.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: QLD, Australia | | | Books- War & Peace, and the Bible. These two combined should keep me going at least a couple of weeks if I pace myself.
And 3 books by my favourite fantasy author, David Gemmell, It would take me hours to make a final decision on which 3 to take though. I would like to say "A Clockwork Orange" but its just too short :/
Films-
Starwars
Pulp Fiction
Labyrinth
The Matrix
Yellow Submarine
Albums-
Pink Floyd - Darkside of the Moon
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
The Smiths - Best of
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
David Bowie - Aladdin Sane
Those are the first things that came to my head, no doubt, I would get in there and on the first day think "God I wish I had brought that"
