Amazing that I love "Lost" so much. That said, I'd have to take the funniest book I've ever read in my life: "Youth in Revolt" by C.D. Payne. Laugh out loud funny. It's like "Catcher in the Rye" on steroids. Drama-wise, though, I think I'd have to choose "I Know This Much is True" by Wally Lamb, one of very few books to actually make me cry. Or "Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey N (I can't spell her last name). That one made me cry, too. Fantastic books.

And, if I had a rich house, I would have the library from Disney's Beauty and the Beast, so please don't ask me my favorite.

Fantastic, and with all the content about people's connection to the earth it would give me quite the insight about "connecting" with the island. Plus, still gives me food for thought even though the first time I read it was over 10 years ago!

Salinger. It's always been my favorite, since I was 14 years old. At 31 I can still relate to it. Or the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in one giant book, like Sarah listed.. They both are great works, and both make me think and laugh. I'd need that on a desert island. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. It’s always been my favorite, since I was 14 years old.
