The 10 Books I'd Want If I Was Stranded On An Island

Okay, another post in the spirit of letting my bloggers get to know more about me.  I thought I'd do some top 10 or top 5 lists throughout the month.  Of course my "cheat" answer would be that I'd want my Nook with all my books downloaded on it, and an unlimited supply of batteries/electricity to run it.  However, as that's just silly and unrealistic, here are my top 10 books that I can read over and over and would take care of me on an island.

1.  It by Stephen King

2.  Watchers by Dean Koontz

3.  Swan Song by Robert McCammon

4.  The Flowers in the Attic series in one book by V.C. Andrews  (Is there such a thing?  If not, there should be.)

5.  The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.  If not all, then just the first one is okay.

6.  Harry Potter series.  Although, there's not just one I would pick, I love them all.  Maybe if I had to pick just one, it would be Goblet of Fire.

7.  Gone With the Wind and/or it's sequel Scarlett

8.  Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton

9.  My grandfather's Marx Brothers book I used to always look at when I went to visit him.

10.  Either a Fox Trot cartoon book, or a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon book for laughing.

Have you read any of those?  Would any of those be on your list?  How would you decide which books made the cut?
