Several prominent literary figures were invited to an open forum where someone interviewed them and asked them questions. One question that came up was this: “If you were stranded on a desert isle, and you could only have one book, which book would you bring with you?”
- The first person said without hesitating, “The complete works of William Shakespeare”
-The next said, “I would bring the Bible with me”
- They turned to the last writer and said, “How about you? What book would you bring with you to a desert isle?”
He responded, “Thomas’ Guide to Practical Ship Building”
