In case you missed it, take a look at our Castaway Library…

June 25, 2020 By IT Leave a Comment

Hello booklovers,

Over the past few days a collection of authors have taken isolation to the next level and imagined themselves alone on a desert island with only three books for company. Together they assembled a magnificent castaway library.

Here are the books to be found on our literary desert island (author surname first, in true library style…)

The selfish gene by Richard Dawkins

Dark Pines by Will Dean

Catch 22 by Joseph Heller

Oceanic Birds of the World: A Photo Guide by Steve Howell and Kirk Zufelt

Curious Warnings: The Great Ghost Stories of M. R. James

The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy

Atonement by Ian McEwan

Motherwell by Deborah Orr

Galápagos by Kurt Vonnegut

Certainly a selection enough to keep one stimulated and well read when stuck alone on a desert island! With grateful thanks to our contributors, Edward Parnell, Kit Yates and Louise Millar.

The next question is… which three books would you class as essential reading for life alone on a desert island? We would love to know!

Bookish best,

The Felixstowe Book Festival Team x
