If you can read this, I want you to answer it
Variations on a meme.
Most of us have done the "desert island" list of books -- if you could only take (one, five, ten) with you, what would it/they be? Well, this one is a little different, but I want your answers.
Here's the setup:
You're leaving for Borneo or Swaziland or Mars or a deep-Atlantic biodome or someplace where you're not going to be in touch with people for a long time, let's say 15 years. One of the important people you're leaving behind is a young boy or girl on the cusp of adolescence. You can leave a stack of 10 books for this person to read while you're gone. What books do you choose? (You may include why, if you wish.)
Think about your answers a while. I'm still thinking about mine (I've only got 5 of my titles so far) and will post them tomorrow sometime. You can post yours now or wait, but I want to see your answers.
Thanks!
