I suppose there wouldn't be a CD player on the island, so I'd bring Lester Bangs' book 'Psychotic Reactions & Carburetor Dung'. He's the only rock 'n' roll hack I've read that could write about music in a way that was even more exciting and moving than the bands he was describing. It was his description that made me go out and buy Van Morrisson's 'Astral Weeks'. I was deeply disappointed 'cause it didn't live up to LB's writing.
(Ever noticed the "Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs' line in REM's 'End Of The World As We Know It'?)
Also James Joyce's 'Ulysses' - the first great experimental novel. If I was stuck on a desert island I might actually find time to read the whole book and not just the naughty Molly Bloom bits.
Plus Nancy Friday's 'Women On Top'. You never mentioned if I'd be allowed to bring a Girl Friday along, DCL, so at least I'd know I'd be able to READ about naughty women and their wicked fantasies.
