It would have to be Neverwhere or Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman. Probably Smoke and Mirrors... That reminds me, I need to get that book back from my brother...

Sorry if you think its garbage but I would take the Bibble because I have never read it and I think it would be the place to for it.
or Magician by Feist

The Bible is alot of books thrown into one big volume. So you'd have to chose one particular book of the bible.
Anyway i'd take War and Peace by Tolstoy because it's the biggest single book i've seen (1200 pages I think).
I've never read it before so i'd probably end up hating it, but they're the chances you take.

Propably a good "Do it yourself book" http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif
BTW War and peace is pretty good, though I definatly would have preferred more war and less peace.
For Fun reading i would propably take along good omens.

A night in the lonesome october by Roger Zelazny.
I can't read a book more than once, that's the only book i can.
Btw, the bible is longer than War and Peace, and it's freakier.

I think you are mistaken in the fact that War & Peace is the longest single book. How about Stephen King's The Stand (Uncut version).
If my memory serves me right, it was over 1400 pages.
Is that correct FitzFlagg? Can you back me up on that tentative source?

Lord of the rings and i do have it one book. Only because i read it a few years ago and i cant remember a thing so it would keep me entertained for a long time.

For a monster sized book, how about Tad Wiliams' To Green Angel Tower in hardcover. They had to split it into 2 seperate softcovers...together they weighed in at about 1600 pages! King's The Stand would be my 2nd choice. The full Lord of the Rings would come in 3rd.
So does Fedex/UPS deliver to this hypothetical island? http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif
