Suppose you are to go to a desert island for a year. You will have no entertainment and plenty of free time, but you have just enough room for five novels in your suitcase. You know that you’ll re-read each novel several times over the course of the year, and rather than taking anything you haven’t read before, you decide to take five books that you’ve read already, so that you can be sure you’ll enjoy re-reading them so many times. Which 5 books do you take and why?
