Cast Away

Oct 12, 2008
Post a comment

If you were stranded on an island, what five books would you bring?
Light on Yoga - B.K.S. Iyengar
Lord of the Flies - William Golding
The Art of War - Sun Tzu
FM 21-76 US Army Survival Manual (pdf)
The Dhammapada - as translated by Thomas Byrom
I didn't think too long about this but now looking back at it, these books provide a fairly practical guide for surviving this world and the next. I haven't read the US Army Survival Manual, but it's in there because I'm a pragmatist.
