Ten Books I’d Want on a Deserted Island

{Note: This post was written back when I was still an Anglican clergyman. I’m now a Catholic layman, so the list would be different nowadays…}

Tex has asked me which ten books I’d want with me if I were to be stranded on a deserted island. Here is my list:

1. Holy Bibl

2. American Missal (along with a lifetime supply of hosts and wine)

3. Lord of the Rings Trilogy (bound in one volume – so that only counts as one book)

4. Oxford Dictionary of the Church

5. Latin Breviary

6. Latin Dictionary

7. C.S. Lewis’ Great Divorce

8. Single Volume Edition of Shakespeare’s Works

9. Photo Album of my family.

10. And of course, my Mac PowerBook G4 with a magic battery that never runs out and Wi-Fi. After all, the PowerBook is a “book.”
