What is your desert island book?
You get The Bible (or Torah, Quran, etc.), The Complete Works of Shakespeare, and big encyclopedias.
No complete works.

The house of mirth. My favourite book and actually very dense. Great, intelligent, sentences. Comedy and tragedy.

"One Hundred Years of Solitude" or "Geek Love." Probably the former; my love for "Geek" was fed by the surprise factor. Can't be surprised twice. (At least not 'til the Alzheimer's hits.)

Like what’s an encyclopedia? Is it, like you know, a cousin of Wikipedia?

1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. They really thought htey could summarize ALL knowledge in one book. Nobody else has ever come remotely as close.
