You are exiled on a remote island. You have shelter, water, food, clothing, electricity, furniture, home entertainment components, art/music equipment if applicable, and are comfortable, but are alone - no phone, satellite, internet, etc. You will spend the rest of your days there.

What ONE item in each category would you take with you?

Book
Audio recording
Video recording
Game or sport (any type, from CRPG to surfing, but just remember you are alone)

No huge boxed sets - let's say you have to carry them all in one arm - although if you like, say, the entire Berlin Alexanderplatz we'll let that slide since it can be considered a single work.

It doesn't necessarily mean you have to take your favorite item, but the one you believe will give you the longest satisfaction for the rest of your days (for example, Finnegan's Wake may not be my favorite book at the moment, but it's so complex I could spend years interpreting it)

I'd probably take -

Book: The Worst Journey In The World by Apsley Cherry-Garrard
Audio: Laura Dean's soundtrack for her dance piece Tympani
Video: Eraserhead (1976) dir. David Lynch
Game: Baldur's Gate 2

Book:LotR
Audio:do not know yer
Video:The Godfather
Game:Baldur`s Gate Series

Edit:The Godfather

Book-...No one book I can decide on really, I'll take the bible so I can debate with myself regarding the topics inside for all eternity :D
Audio recording- Creed-Human Clay
Video recording- The Untouchables
Game or sport- ...I guess I'd take rowing (is that what you meant by sport?) and row myself off that island (despite the fact I've been exiled there) [img]tongue.gif[/img] If you meant videogame- Skies of Arcadia

A speedboat, so i can get back to the land of the living. I'm not gonna spent the rest of my days on a deserted island, are you nuts ? :D

Somehow i don't think you're a German trying to speak Dutch, so... what does LOEL mean ? :D
