The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne

4.0

adventurous informative mysterious slow-paced

Maybe this should be the book you take to a deserted island. It covers just about every specialty you need to survive, in surprising detail. The actual adventure is great too, with the mysterious presence on the island being quite the surprise. I read 20,000 leagues under the sea decades ago, but it is still one that pops into my head every now and then.
