I'm doing this thing in English as a Speaking & Listening exercise where I'm asked to justify choices of items to take to a desert island. I don't know if anyone did it while they were at school, but you basically have to give 1 CD, 1 book and 1 luxury item and then explain your reasons for choosing them. It used to be done on the radio I think, with celebrities, but muh.
I'm sort of wavering in between a few ideas at the moment so thought it would be interesting (well, compared to half the crap in this forum) to see what other people would say.
List away...

my luxury item would be "my house with all my stuff in it"
and defy the use for cd's and books.
However on a less stupid note, I'd take "A guide to raft building" book.
The CD would be the audio-book of the aforementioned title in case my eyes got tired
my luxury item would be lumber, rope and prostitutes.

Or you could just add "with built in CD player" onto your luxury item.
Get out of my head Asher, heh.
Wouldn't the luxury item have to be a CD player, else defy the use for a CD?
Luxury item would have to be a walkman or how would you ever listen to the cd?
CD: OK Computer
Book: A book of Radiohead lyrics
Luxury Item: Ibanez JEM
Book: A book of Radiohead lyrics
Luxury Item: Ibanez JEM
They don't do albums on the show, they do songs.
Heh.
Oh, and I found the site for the Radio show, that asks the question to celebrities. They give 8 albums though, and then other choices. Muh, anyway here's the link:

And check out Clarkson's - brilliant.

1 CD, 1 book and 1 luxury hm.
CD would be Best of Elvis (reason why is coming up)
1 Book would be 'how to run a casino'
and the luxury item would be a fully assembled casino with internet, so you can advertise your 'exclusive desert island casino' to the world.
Then just sit and wait, playing 'Viva Las Vegas' through the casino's loudspeaker system, until the millionaires in their expensive boats come to the island...
