7 Books I’d Take To A Desert Island

As I scan my book shelves it’s fairly clear that my reading tastes dwell mostly within the realm of non-fiction.

Art and Architecture. Culture and Couture. Music and Nature.

Hardly the sort of stuff I’d feel inspired to drag away to a desert island.

As I redirect my gaze to the shelf holding the novels, yes, there is one or two featuring on Terry’s list but the central theme is overwhelmingly science fiction.
