Yes Annie, I should have said , but I think the castaways get the Bible and complete works of Shakespeare anyway, so the book you choose will be another one, sorry I left that out

I thought it might be fun to do something along the lines of Desert Island Discs on here: The whole thing may be a bit much. How about we all give the ONE disc we would take with us, and the reason why. Also a Book, and that all important Luxury.

I will jump in feet first with mine:
Disc " Penny Lane" The Beatles. Very difficult to choose one disc, but this takes me right back to being a teenager in Liverpool. I didn't actually have a great Childhood, but this reminds me of the happier times.

Book: Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake. I chose this because it will keep me going for some time. I am reading it now, but I get so little time to read that it seems to go on forever. It is one of those books though that really takes you to another place.

Luxury: Lots and lots of stationary, really nice good quality paper, pens and pencils.

Cannot wait to read everyone else's
