what one book and one CD would you take. (can't choose the bible or the bible in CD form)

I would choose Aztec by Gary Jennings and Boston Third Stage

3. "The Book of Survival" for the book..
and for the CD, something about learning morse code. then I'd use the CD to signal passing aircraft and ships!

5. Does the island have a CD player?
Electrical power? A generator? A five-year supply of AA batteries? :P

6. It has whatever it takes to play the CDs
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Island_Discs


This has been a chat show on BBC radio since 1942 (back when it started, the discs were gramophone records, and they specified a wind-up gramaophone and an infinite supply of needles) - the guest chooses 8 songs, including naming the one they'd have if they could only have one, a book (apart from the bible or appropriate substitute, and the complete works of Shakespeare - I suppose they thought too many British peopel would choose that, so it would be boring), and a luxury.
