Desert Island Discs

[October]

Message withdrawn

1. Encyclopaedia Britannica (anything else would drive you crazy by the twelfth read)

2. 3.

Hmm, have to think harder about the other two

1 The Quincunx - I've read it twice and still can't work it out, so it would give me a chance to try to understand how that last line can possible be right

2 Betty Blue - watching Zorg would fulfil any sexual needs, and the music would double as a extra CD. It would have to be the Directors cut though - not just because I'm pretentious but because the extra 1/2 hour woudl fill more time

3 Tapestry by Carole King. Finally on a desert island I could sing along to my hearts content without people thinking I was being murdered.

Hmmm, harder than it looks this one...

1. My DD's baby record book - it has pics and record of all her special moments + other family photos

2. As Good as it Gets (Jack Nichoson & Helen Hunt) - I've watched it countless times and still love it.

3. Am undecided on CD as yet ....

1. can't think of ONE book - can I take at least 10 please!

2. Has to be West Side Story (!)

3.The Kick Inside - Kate Bush

Actually make no 2. Fried green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe

1.any book regarding the theories on who Jack the Ripper was
2.tie between angelas ashes and shawshank redemption
3. AC/DC- back in black.

I am not a weirdo honest!!!!!!!

1.how not to be a perfect mother
2.one flew over the cuckoo`s nest
3.jagged little pill by alanis morrisette

Oooh yes - how could I forgt Jagged little Pill?? shall i swap Kate for Alanis? Decisions decisions!

This is great but soooo hard!
I'll have a (first) go but might come back later and change everything (would that be cheating?)

1. The Charterhouse of Parma (Stendhal).. loved it since I was 13, still in lurve with the hero.. (do I need to grow up? Nah!)
2. The Seven Year Itch (fantastically funny, will never age)
3. The Brandenburg Concertos (3 CDs....always lifts my spirit) Hope everyone has a go at this, brilliant idea!!

1. I started reading Vikram Seth's "A Suitable Boy" in April 2002. To date I have reached page 264 so I have 1,210 pages to go. It's a great book but sooooooo long that I keep stopping to read something else. So I'll have to take it to my island to finish it.

2. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (or Life of Brian, not sure).

3. Recurring Dream - The Very Best of Crowded House.

Brilliant idea for a thread, October!

1. Very hard to choose but probably Donna Tartt's The Secret History.
2. Day for Night - if I had to choose just one of Francois Truffaut's films
3. Like Finbar, The Kick Inside (no intention of switching to Alanis).

Ooooh, a hard one (but what a good idea, October!).
Mmmm, book would have to be To Kill a Mockingbird.
Film, It's a Wonderful Life.
CD, The River - Bruuuuuce!

Can I cheat and take a second book? TCLBB - but only to use a tinder to start the fire off!

1. lord of the rings - or can i be snidey and take a tolkien collection

2.rocky horror picture show - i dont own it, i have seen it, i dont know all the words - and it would double as something else to listen too and its funny

3. i cant chose between the music that i like so maybe i would take something classical becuase the uncultured person i am i just dont nderstand it - it doesnt float my boat - and it all has meaning apparently -so i could figure it out over many years - or use the CD's to light a fire for help!

1. The Remains of the Day

2. The African Queen 3. oo god so hard but schubert's string quintet in c has to be the one

great thread october!

I'm even dimmer ks - why would speaking Swedish help? And have you worked out who the father is?

1. Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery

2. Bedazzled (the Peter Cook & Dudley Moore original, she hastily adds) 3. Solid Air by John Martyn

And now I have to get the Quincunx to see what all the fuss is about...been meaning to read it for ages!

Thanks October, I'll take the Lord of the Rings trilogy too. And Carmen on CD and movie, movie think of a movie... ooh, can I have the Sharpe collection? They're all TV movies and they are packaged together.
