The island (I'm not talking about this crappy movie starring Ewan McGregor)

So since our teachers decided to send us off to a remote island  ( I won't complain, I loved that "cast away" movie)with only for companions a book, a CD and a person of our choice,  I had to decide what would be my best possible options (so many choices, so little choices), here how it goes :

First,the book, it must have been the easiest decision of the entire group, I chose Leo Tolstoy's book "War and peace" I've always wanted to read that one , being heralded as one of the finest piece of literature of all time, carrying the fascinating slavic soul which I relish so much and also famous for it's lenght ( around  1400 pages) I think It's going to keep my days busy on the island, even more so if I read a single page a day with the book in its original language (hopefully these university courses will be useful).

The CD I'd like to bring along with me to the island would be Rischard Desjardin's "Abbittibbi- Chaude était la nuit" CD. This one holds a special place in my heart as it is a CD of nostalgia. I remember the days of summer in my youth, listening to the poetry of Desjardin, thanks to my mother who would always boot that CD up every evening .The titular song ( chaude était la nuit) will always be in my mind, it's a groove I can't forget and I instantly think of these days I've come to miss a bit when the first notes come up( now that we, as cynical adults , lost the wonderfully candid view of the world we used pull around) here's the link to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qvoEFge1RA

Finally, the person I'd like to have around me on the island would be Jules Vernes. I thought about dragging Tom Hanks along with me but ,come to think of it, I don't like volleyball so it's a no-no.Besides, Tom must be so Fedex....errrrr I mean Fed up about being stuck on an island again, I'll just let him stick to running. Jules Vernes would be the more appropriate choice, having read many of his books, I noticed he had a versatile knowledge about virtually anything, and this will come in handy on this island. Plus, Jules Vernes had always been captivated by stories involving people that must survive on a deserted island, so I guess he'll be very satisfied to be stranded with me on these few square kilometres of palm trees, sand and alluring fauna.When you think about it, it's paradise, there's no conservative in sight.......
