Books that are useless on a desert island.
Drew Hevle raises a very interesting question: suppose you are stranded on a desert island; what books would be entirely useless in this situation?
Here are a few books that I wouldn’t want to be stranded on an island with:
- Federal Income Tax: Code and Regulations Selected Sections
- A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates
- Government Phone Book USA 2000
- How to Build an Igloo: And Other Snow Shelters
Do you have other ideas for awful desert island reading?

I like your suggestions better, esp. Random Digits and Igloos! Very funny!
