If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 items would you take?
1.) The book Papillion by Henri Charriere – a must read for anyone plotting an escape!
2.) The Shantaram by Gregory Davis Robert. I’m thinking I will have plenty of time on my hands on this island so this book should waste a few long hours!
3.) Peanut butter – crunchy! One must eat.
