Deserted Island...
If you knew you were about to be stranded on a deserted island for the rest of your life, what would you take with you? You can pack the essentials (water, sunscreen, etc) and a few luxury items:
* 3 books (in addition to the Bible, because, hey...everyone should take the Bible!)
* 5 movies
* 5 cd's
I'm still thinking. I'd want to find a good balance of challenging stuff, fun stuff, and relaxing stuff. One book would definitely be Pride and Prejudice...it's my all-time favorite novel. I would also consider something by CS Lewis...something that would take a while to work out, you know? Movies are just too hard! I'd want to represent all genres so I'd always have something that matched my mood...The Matrix would be pretty high up there. Also Never Been Kissed for the guilty pleasure/silly romantic comedy category. Probably Pirates of the Caribbean...just for the fun of it! Music also represents a challenge. Jimmy Buffett's "Greatest Hits" for sure...I'm on an island for cryin' out loud. Then, Blindside "Silence", Copeland "Beneath Medicine Tree", hmmm...two more. More thinking required.
