Mental Floss recently asked 20 writers what one book would they want if they were stranded on a desert island. Some of the choices are fun reads while others are classics. From Pride and Prejudice to Harry Potter the writers ran the gambit. Some unique choices included the Complete Calvin and Hobbes collection and James Patterson’s choice to bring paper because “if one was looking to kill time on an island, it takes a bit longer to write one than to read one.”
