GETTING TO KNOW EVERYBODY

Welcome, classes!


Please add a comment and post your answer to the following question. If you were marooned on a deserted island, what meal, book, and luxury item would you bring if all the essentials were already provided?


You can't say boat or anything to get you off the island!
