My current ten titles to take with me to a deserted island would be:
The Hounds of the Morrigan (Pat O'Shea),
Told on the King's Highway (Eleanore Jewett),
The Education of Little Tree (Forrest Carter),
A Treasury of Great Poems (edited by Louis Untermeyer),
An Elegy For September (John Nichols),
Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte),
The Curse Of The Wise Woman (Lord Dunsany),
Hunter's Horn (Harriet Arnow),
Fairies (Brian Froud & Alan Lee), and
A Christmas Carol ( Charles Dickens).

As with many of you, my list changes from time to time. Also, some favorites are "guilty pleasures," that is to say they're not necessarily the best examples of writing but I love them anyway.

I also have my "survival list" of albums I couldn't be without, but we'll do that another time perhaps.
