G. K. Chesterton and several other literary figures were asked one evening what book they would prefer to have with them if stranded on a desert isle.
One writer said without hesitation: "The complete works of Shakespeare."
Another said, "I'd choose the Bible."
They turned to Chesterton. "How about you?"
And Chesterton replied, "I would choose Thomas's Guide to Practical Ship Building. "
