BOOKS, part 3: with Edwin Crozier and Elizabeth Nowlin

Citizen of Heaven

Instead of shoehorning a game into this segment, I’ve decided to make my own. It’s called “Gilligan’s Island,” and here’s how it works. You’re going to spend an indefinite period of time isolated from everything and everyone. You can take five books with you, other than the Bible. And for reasons I can’t get into now, the books can’t be about building boats, satellite dishes, or luxury getaway resorts. Which ones do you choose?
