Using that logic, Red Walker, you may want to consider the Cleric Quintet Collector's Edition! 
Personally, I'd settle for any of Niles' Maztica trilogy. I've often thought they should be used for personal hygiene, and I could do so on that island without a cringe of conscience.  And, just maybe, when delirious from loneliness or water deprivation, they'd turn into a good read!?!? 
Otherwise I'm with the Evermeet-or-Cormyr voters.  |

| Are novels that contain multiple novels allowed? *grin* |
Any Lone Wolf fans? Old school gamebooks from the 80's? They are being re-released/updated, and new books 29-32 being written: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/novels/lonewolfsolo.html

| It would be the Prince of Lies for me. Even though I have read it about five times, I still get sucked into the story when I open that cover |

| That is a tough question. I would probably have to go with Evermeet because I am an elf nut and that book has a dragon's horde of lore. However, in some ways I like the old anthologies even better. I own five of the six TSR Realms of... books, but picking which one is my favorite is pretty much impossible. |

I'd take anything by Kemp - probably Shadowrealm as I haven't gotten to read that one yet .
As for some of the other speculations, it was never stated that you couldn't bring other books or survival tools, just that you only got ONE FR novel. I'd have to say that using that loophole, I'd be really well-equipped for my stay  . |
Anyone who likes to read something that's really dark and gritty and completely awesome ought to read The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. You can check out a little taste at www.BrentWeeks.com I should probably warn you, though, that it is definitely not PG-13 :-D
He also started a new Trilogy with Black Prism, which may even surpass the Night Angel Trilogy in its awesomeness.

Ha, well spotted. As for the novel I think I'd take Silverfall. |
If I waited till I knew what I was doing, I'd never get anything done.

| For me, it's book three of the Erevis Cale Trilogy. SUCH an intense read. |
My latest Realms-based short story, about a bard, a paladin of Lathander and the letter of the law, Debts Repaid. It takes place before the "shattering" and gives the bard Arion a last gasp before he plunges into the present.http://candlekeep.com/campaign/logs/log-debts.htm |

If we're thinking in terms of survival, then I would pick a book with lots of pages, preferably soft and absorbent.
For reading, though, I would go with Elfshadow. I like Cunningham's FR books the best.

The Crystal Shard, because it was my window into a whole new world back then in 1988, and it still holds a hell of a lot of nostalgic value for me even now.
I think Homeland was a better story, but by the time I finally got around to reading that (2005), I had already begun approaching the books like research projects, and reading them just doesn't impact me as emotionally as it used to, anymore. (Though some may say it's the choice of author, rather than reading in general.)
Without being able to pinpoint any newer book that makes me go "wow-wee", I'd go the nostalgic route and stick with the Shard. |

Tough question! What was your favorite novel read?
