Great list! I love some of your choices here and Dracula is always a good read, wherever you are - Dumas is cropping up a lot too!
ReplyDeleteThis is my TTT list of books I'd want with me - although I found it impossible to keep it to ten and am itching to add others to it!
I just absolutely love Dracula. I've noticed Dumas appearing quite a bit too.
DeleteOoh Princess bride! Fun. I'm seeing Monte cristo already on a few lists as well... a nice long chunkster for desert island living. !
ReplyDeleteThe Princess Bride is my ultimate favourite! Yeah, I've noticed a lot of Dumas this week.
DeleteGreat choices! Dracula and The Princess Bride are two of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
We have two favourites in common! The Princess Bride is my ultimate though.
DeleteGood idea to have some longer books to pass the time.
ReplyDeleteHere's my list!
Thanks for visiting!
DeletePerfect to have some rereads and some long books to read for the first time.
ReplyDeleteI thought so! Even if I don't like the long books there'll be plenty of paper to start a fire haha!
DeleteSuch awesome choices! I love both The Princess Bride and Dracula, and I've always wanted to read Don Quixote. :)
ReplyDeleteDracula and The Princess Bride just make me so happy when I read them. I've wanted to read Don Quixote for a long time too.
DeleteTHE PRINCESS BRIDE is a great read no matter where you are. Great book and great choice!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

It's my ultimate favourite! I love the movie too!
DeleteOoh you would definitely kill a lot of time with even one of those huge books!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2021/07/27/top-ten-tuesday-326/
Yes, I think that's why I'm scared to start them!
DeleteYou've got a lot of great ones on your list! I'd love to re experience Monte Cristo again for the first time.
ReplyDeleteLauren @ Always Me
That sounds so good that you'd love to read Monte Cristo for the first time again. It must be good!
DeleteI love Wallbanger such a great romantic comedy. I would also make sure that the majority of the books I brought were long a great strategy.
ReplyDeleteWallbanger makes me laugh so much. Yes, I think they'd keep me entertained for a long time.
DeleteInteresting list. I 've read six of those books and am going to read a seventh (Dracula) this year for one of my challenges. Of the ones I have read, many of them great books, my favourite would be "War and Peace". Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TTT earlier.
That's really nice to hear you enjoyed War and Peace. I find it a bit intimidating.
DeleteI love large books and I know they are not for everyone. I never read just one book at a time so I still finish a book from time to time before I finally finish the big one.
DeleteI think that's such a good way to do it. I might have to try it myself soon, just to help break the bigger ones down a bit.
DeleteLes Mis and War & Peace are good calls! I still need to read them.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we'll get round to reading them one day!
DeleteFantastic list! I have seen Les Mis on quite a few!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes I think being on a desert island would be the perfect opportunity for a lot of us to get round to reading it.
