    How long am I expected to be on this island?
    Considering when I'm in a reading mood one book wouldn't last long at all...

    I think the appropriate book is:

    How to build a boat to get the FUCK off a desert island.

    There can't be a best book. The best for some people won't be the best for others.

    If only one single book then to me The Art of War considering it's diverse applications. Go Rin No sho is another.

    you have read the five rings? i have that book but havent got around to reading it yet. the 5 are earth, water, wind, fire and void right? is it good i have heard it is excellent.


    i thought your favorite book would be art based since your signature is shen zhou scholar.


    good choices though.


    peace.
