Rules for your desert island list via Reading in Reykjavík:

There can be more than one book in a volume, but I can only choose10 volumes plus a book of national importance to my culture and one religious book. Since there is no electricity on my fictional desert island and I can only take a limited number of batteries with me – all of which I will need to power my flashlight and an emergency radio – I can not take an e-book reader.
