    This is true. 10 allows you a bit of flexibility and two spare. No-one has mentioned a book yet. You are also allowed a luxury.

    My book is: The complete poems and selected prose of John Donne;
    My luxury would be: An endless supply of good coffee....

    Book: Churchill's World War two (okay it's several volumes)
    If not allowed The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money by John Maynard Keynes (I read it at University but would waste my days tinkering with it in the forlorn hope I could increase its current relevance)
    Luxury: Watch (unscrew the crown and it sends a traceable distress signal over the short wave network)
    If not allowed: Jennifer Lopez (I wouldnt want the watch then) :D

    Personally I think the world would be a far better place without both, especially religion and as for Shakespeare, Shakespeare my ar5e - I'd much rather read an autobiography - something like Ricky Tomlison's

    Well Shakespeare didn’t write his plays to be read but to be performed- Ricky Tomlinson is a big fan of his

    You are not allowed anything that might help you escape from the island so you can’t have it. You can’t have a person either.

    I presume George Kerr is male so it should be “ami” not “amie” - you also missed the circumflex on “sûr”.

    This is the result of self isolation.
