I’m learning how to use the Adobe InDesign program, so I thought a fun exercise for practicing this type of spread (which probably has an official name, but I don’t know what it is) would be to create a list of books I read over and over again. Not just a specific passage, but the entire book. My “Desert Island Books.”
This little project was remarkably putzy and I think there must be some shortcuts I need to figure out. But it’s a start.
How about you? Are you “one and done” when it comes to books, or do you like to re-visit your favorites? Which books would be on your Desert Island list?
I love these kinds of things. When I use to interview folks for my wine assistant gigs, these were among my questions to them. 3 Desert Island Books, 5 Desert Island movies, etc
The only books I’ve read repeatedly are all of Salinger’s books. Been through them all MULTIPLE times. (Oh, and a couple of Hemingway short story’s but that wasn’t the question.)
Jeff, I’ve read Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast twice. Now I’m curious to know what your three Desert Island Books are!!
Well, I’d have a tough time picking betwixt JD’s Nine Stories or Franny and Zooey but we’ll go with 9 Stories for now.
2) A Movable Feast
3) William Goldman’s Adventures in the Screen Trade (which I have also read a couple times and highly recommend to you as a writer. It’s fantastic)
Jeff, I didn’t read Catcher in the Rye until Will had to for school last year. And I loved it! I was surprised by how much I loved it and how much I related to Holden. I haven’t read the other two you mentioned, but I’ll check them out. I feel like we gave Andrew the Goldman book for his birthday or Christmas. If not, thank you for the birthday gift idea, lol.
