    I did'nt know you read Greek Benny.

    As for a book, well if I was certain that I would have access to electricity, I would bring a notebook with me and if not, as I would be trekking, it would have to be an atlas or tourist guide with maps of where I was travelling through. James Joyce is all find and good, but Ulysses is f**k all use when you don't want to lose your way.

    Man after my own heart Benin!! If I were stuck on a desert island, I'd be so frustrated that the last thing I'd want to do is read!!

    If I were trekking (as apposed to being stuck on a dessert Island), I'd take the Count of Monte Cristo (Alexander Dumas).

    Haven't read it in awhile, but tales of obsessive revenge tickle my fancy today!

    Ask me tomorrow and I'll probably choose something else.

    Like I thought, I've changed my mind today. Today I want to take the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy for trekking around the world. Seems more appropriate as i'm likely to feel like a Hobbit while doing the trekking bit. Although I'd like to pretend I was a wizard!! (I have a vivid imagination and get carried away sometimes!)
