your book should be "how to tie a noose with coconut threads" cause listening to that over and over will end you. lol... of course j/kHa... this is a great thread for a high school story of mine.
I had a group of 6 buddies in HS, myself and 5 other guys.
There was this one discussion where they all "laughed me under the table"... and it was this:
You are on a deserted island - would you rather have:
a) The complete works of U2, or
b) The complete works of ACDC
I was outvoted 5-1... but I still holdfast that my group is better... and that the other isn't aging well.
Now... to be boring... I could pick my favourite 8 songs of all-time, but an engineer would think about this logically.
If the island is deserted - it's just me.
This means language will die and I'd rather have melody and peace.
I don't want to go all crazy like Darryl in a prison cell in Walking Dead being forced to listen to the same song lyrics over and over.
So... give me:
1. Blue Danube Waltz - Strauss
2. Marriage of Figaro - Mozart
3. Clair de lune - Debussy
4. Gymnopedie - Satie
5. Morning Mood - Grieg
6. Primavera - Einaudi
7. Overture No. 3 - Bach
8. Bluebird - Alexis Ffrench (if you haven't heard this modern one... queue it up, good shit to mellow out on)
Book:
20,000 Leagues Under the Seas - Verne (I haven't read it... I'd want something new... and it would fit and might keep me sea-sharp. My "luxury item" is gonna get more use than the book anyways.)
Luxury Item (assuming that I have some form of tools & base things for food/water/shelter):
Probably a loaded, working gaming device system, solar-powered. Good to keep the brain sharp and entertained: Nintendo Switch or PS#, something like that.
And... if there's some Grand Theft Auto or similar game... I'd have a lot of cool song tracks already listed above! *boom. P7 ftw*
(fun, thanks)
