I think we're overlooking something here. If we take records, we will also need to take a record player. Does hi-fi equipment count as a luxury?

I'm not a great fan of David Walliams, but I think that he made a splendid choice on DID last Sunday:

WITH the words “I don’t want the Bible. I don’t like the Bible” comedy star David Walliams, 37, today joined a tiny band of guests on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs who have refused to be marooned with the “holy” book.

Likewise I decline the offer of a bible.

Book: Thomas Pynchon ~ Gravity's Rainbow or Against The Day, I don't mind which.

Luxury: copying Rich P, I'll have electronic chess plus some power source to run it
