and we're going to do the Desert Island Book Challenge.
Basically we are going to be choosing books to bring with us if we
were to be deserted on a desert island. That was repetitive but that's the gist.
There are rules to this challenge: We will choose three books each that
can't be a book that doesn't exist and it can't be a book-- a real book-- that will
help us to get off the island in any like, specific, like, this is how you get
off a desert island fact-book kind of way. Like nonfiction, kind of thing. What about
a fiction book where they escape the island in a realistic way though?
Yeah!
Would you like to go first?
My first book would be "Lord of the Flies."
Because they're in a similar situation than me and I feel like their situation is very extreme and it would make me feel a lot better.
I also enjoy the book.
I guess one of my favorite
books from last two years has been "The Name of the Wind." I re-read it twice already. I read it a total of
three times I'm reading it again this summer in French so I guess that's a book I would bring.
my second book would be "Watership Down" because I've
started that book, like, five times but never finished it so it'd be a great
opportunity to finish the book because I'm stuck on an island.
I think I'm going to go with another favorite of mine. I've mentioned may times on my channel
it's a book called "La Quete d'Ewilan." It doesn't exist in English but I guess if
I'm on a desert island I might as well just you know get a tree you know get a
piece of wood then start translating the whole book. And
re-read it. I've read it like five times. Its one of my favourite books from
childhood. One of the books that didn't just get me really into reading fantasy
but also writing fantasy. So, yeah, its a book that I would want to have with me.
Its a lot of pressure. What's the last book I would bring? Ummm... This book keeps
popping into my head and it is one of my favorites but, I mean, it wouldn't
really do me any good on a desert island but it's "Birdsong" by Sebastian Faulks.
I talk about this book all the time but I guess I'd bring that
because, like, it just keeps entering my mind so maybe, yeah, I'd bring that one.
So enthusiastic!
I'm trying to think what book I would bring because so far I've picked two books have already read
so I should pick something I haven't read that's really long
so that even if I reread it, it would take me months, maybe, to read it.
The first thing that comes to mind is "Les Miserables"but I'm just like "Do I
really want to read that over and over?"
It would make you really depressed.
Exactly I mean the title says it.
What kind of book would I want to bring?
A book of poetry because then you could like analyze it
reread it and then depending on the mood or the weather or whatever you can imagine
a different way of looking at it.
It would keep you occupied.
I can only think of two books of poetry and one of them I've read part of and the other I haven't read at all
So I guess that would work. "Les Fleurs du Mal"by Baudelaire. That would work.
So now we're fully equipped for our unexpected trip to a desert island. What books would you
bring let us know in the comments below and don't forget to check Stephen's
channel. It is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for watching and we'll see
you next time. Bye!
