Imagine basking under the sun with a book next to you, then you move to another spot cause the sun is scorching hot, so you sit under a coconut tree, silently praying no coconuts would hit you, then you open your book and you start reading. The wind from the sea hit you smoothly, the trees dancing around you and suddenly a coconut falls ,thankfully not on you, and you somehow know how to open a coconut using bare hands, and you drink the coconut during breaks in reading your book.  So yes, the first thing I would bring if  I  were deserted on an ialand would be a book. The secon
