Harry Potter, Ani? I am intrigued!!! But I totally get not having a hot romance book with you - it would be like taking one of those recipe books with you with big, yummy pictures in it. Reading a hot book on the plane is bad enough...

Cheeseburgers. Yum. And picking a TWO CD set is a cunning choice. I think you'd do okay on a desert island, just quietly....

This sounds great. When I was a kid, I used to pick the dill pickle out of my McDonald's cheeseburger and give it to my parents. As an adult, I love those little suckers and have a huge fondness for polski agorski dill pickles. But a dip! Is there a recipe or is this one of those things you get from the supermarket, already prepared?

I guess if there's one way to get to you to read something you've always meant to read, this is it. Going for something with lots of pages and small print is probably a good, practical option. I haven't read Anne Kerenina, either. Maybe for the flight home....? Who am I kidding - I have the attention span of a gnat on the plane, so it has to be something fluffy and fun. This flight, I took two Rachel Gibsons and one of the few Susan Elizabeth Philips that I hadn't read yet. I got through the Philips book and am now up at 3.30 with jetlag, blogging, and about to start in on one of the Gibsons. Then I will be in big trouble, in the middle of Paris with no new books to read!!!! Agh!

Raw vegetables. Really? You'll live forever, of course. But...really? Not even raw veggies with a side of dip? I salute your virtue and discipline. And I'm adding everyone's musical choices to my listening list to see if I can find someone new for my i-pod. Thanks for playing!

Now we're talking. Sugar, fats, milk protein. It really is almost the perfect food. I bet astronauts take it with them - only problem will be keeping it from melting on the island. Might I suggest a hole in the sand, dug down to where it's cooler? And I vote for Book number two, the one where she burns down the funeral parlour. My favourite.

If you can find a five-books-in-one version of the Belgariad series, you can take it. Otherwise, you're screwed, lady. But other than that, great choice. I haven't read the Nerd books, but I have them on my to-do list. And once again, chocolate makes its presence felt. When we arrived this afternoon and took a walk through Le Marais, reacquinting ourselves with all our favourite spots from last time, I was once again very impressed by the French addiction to all things chocolate. You can only admire such dedication. Can't wait for daybreak!

Another desert island dweller who will live forever thanks to healthy food choices. I have to admit, raw fish and I are not great friends, but the kind of modern sushi they do in Australia now with avocado and cucumber, or teryiaki chicken and avocado etc is yum. As long as I get some wasabi with my chicken nori rolls, I could be quite, happy, too. As for the bible. Wow. Interesting call. There's an on-line magazine called Slate that was doing this feature for a while called Blogging the bible. Basically, one of their contributors would read a bit of the bible each week and and paraphrase the story into modern terms. It was both fascinating, revealing and funny. Thanks for playing, Fedora

How I loved Jackie Collins when I was growing up! And Lucky was one of her best. Do you know, apparently when she writes she has no plan, nothing - just sits down and bogs in. Terrifying to a structuralist like me! And I can almost see you rocking out to Justin, having your own private beach party....

Definitely! And the lime juice would stop you from developing scurvy, which is important when you're on a desert island, I believe. I have never read Gone with the Wind, either. To be honest, Scarlet kind of annoys me a lot. She's just so wilfull and spoilt. I'm totally with Rhett when he doesn't-give-a-damns her and walks off. But obviously it's a classic and it would be interesting, long reading.

Pasta is definitely my favourite food group. The cafe around the corner where we were living in Melbourne made great spaghetti bolognaise, and I can't wait for the Italian leg of our trip to start. Shoes and pasta in a land shaped like a boot. Heaven.

I have read so many of her books over the years. My Nan seemed to have an inexhaustible supply. And very virtuous on the brown rice front. My hat off to you. I just realised I didn't talk about my food choice...I think a really tasty salad with lots of fresh stuff in it would be great. We just went to the Rose Bakery near Montemartre for lunch - they released a cookbook called Breakfast Lunch Tea in October last year, and my partner Chris fell in love with it and the cafe. We trudged up and down streets without a map looking for it today, terribly worried it would be closed like everything else is on Sundays over here. But it was open, and we had delicious salads and pizzetts and I am feeling very benevelent toward all things salad right now... Glad you are enjoying the read. I aim to please!

I think songs that are tried and true is a great choice for CD. They stick in our heads for a reason, right? I read somewhere once that the music of your teen years is the music you identify with the most in life, and I am definitely having an 80's resurgence lately. Having said that, I am not sure what CD I would take. I wonder if it would be breaking my own rules to make my own mixed CD, with a little bit of everything? Hmmm....
