The Bible and Shakespeare and?

Listening to the books people choose on Desert Island Discs. They get the Bible, the Collected Works of Shakespeare and one other.

If you had these, what would your choice of one other be? Collected works not allowed.

I think mine would be Bleak House because I could always find something new in it on each reading and it's long!

I will probably have a different choice tomorrow because I love so many.

No, you can substitute The Bible for The Koran.

Some very bolshy posters insisting on taking Collected Works. You can take them @FuckRealityBringMeABook , @MsAmerica but all but one will be dropped into the sea when you arrive at the island.

You're right @justtheotheronemrswembley I wasn't expecting Dick Francis to make the final cut!

😂I've got all of the Dick Francis novels. Had them for years and read them all over and over again. A few are practically falling apart now.

I think I’d probably take a massive anthology of short stories - the Penguin Book of the British Short Story, or similar.
