If you knew you were to be stranded on a desert island and you could take 5 books (not including the Works of Shakespeare and the religious text of your choice), 1 CD and 1 luxury item, what would you take? This is the question we ask in our new column, based on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs. Each week a member of staff, a student or a person of interest will put forward their choices.
Friday 6th of July
Mrs Thompson, maths teacher has sent in her choices.
1. Nightfall by Isaac Asimov (the short story in the anthology Nightfall One, not the later novel in partnership with Robert Silverberg)
2. Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn
3. What a Carve Up! by Jonathan Coe
4. So Many Ways to Begin by Jon McGregor
5. Four Letters of Love by Niall Williams
Each of these books had a strong emotional impact when I first read them and I have since reread each of them countless times. I have recommended them to all my friends and family and do so to you now - read these books, you will love them!
My CD would be Second Coming by the Stone Roses and my luxury would be an endless (!) supply of pencils and paper.
If you would like your choices to be posted in this column you can email them to me at lsaint-smith@gch.org.uk
