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)

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
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

BOOK-I would have to say either eye of the world, or wizards first rule
AUDIO-A cd of house techno
VIDEO-either monthy python search for the holy grail, or something naughty
SPORT-it would have to be a surfing. i mean your on an island the surf has to be good. it will never be the same everyday, you get a good tan. but if its video game i would have to say all final fantsay games.
