You know those lists of books you’d take to a desert island? This is the opposite of that. This is a collection of books that would be spectacularly useless if you were stranded on a desert island.
They won’t be useful (except maybe as kindling), they won’t be entertaining, they won’t help you escape the island or learn animal husbandry or find inner peace.
Assume it’s your standard desert island – no boats, no lights, no motor cars, etc. The only rule: they have to be real books.
