QotD: Cast Away
If you were stranded on an island, what five books would you bring?
submitted by CJP
I hope it's one of the uninhabited islands of the Outer Hebrides...
1. Some kind of book on what foods in nature are edible.
2. A first aid manual.
3. A survival guide with stuff like how to build a commode and a shelter, how to fight off wild animals, how to trap fish and fowl, how to purify water, how to start a fire with no match....
4. A dictionary/language primer.
5. A endless blank journal and a pen with a never-ending ink supply.
