You are stuck on an island indefinitely. You may pass the time by reading the books of five authors. Who would they be?
My List:
1. Hunter S. Thompson
2. Neal Stephenson
3. Kurt Vonnegut
4. Stephen King (godawful writer, phenomenal story-teller)
5. Noam Chomsky

Favouring the classics eh?
Good list but if it were me, I'd want some lighter stuff too. That's why I put Stephen King on my list. Easy reading horror... and the Dark Tower series to boot.

eternal gratitude to you, sir.
the last book is good but it pales in comparison to the first and second.
