Quick question: why is it called a desert island? There is no water in a desert. Shouldn't it be called a deserted island? If you were stuck on a deserted island shouldn't the books you bring be about fishing, harvesting coconuts, cooking with coconuts, cooking with coconuts and fish, surviving tropical storms, building a boat with coconut shells, making sunscreen with coconut milk and coming to terms with solitude. Just wondering.
