DREW’S 10 Favorite books to take with her to a Desert Island (Media added by me).
Who knew that Drew Barrymore likes Hemingway?
On her list of her 10 favorite books that she’d take if marooned on a desert island she had Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms. Her comment was “I defy a woman to read this and not cry. It is so romantic, and epic – even when it takes place in one room.”
Since I’m sure you’re curious by now, the other 9 were the following:
The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz. “This is a book I found at a very hard time in my life and it rescued me. It offers succinct and approachable advice about how to behave in life.”
Still Life with Woodpecker, by Tom Robbins. “A love story that’s filled with poetic analogy, this man speaks in strange and delicious descriptions.”
TOM ROBBINS
Endurance, by Alfred Lansing. “This taught me that if you lead, you need to take peoples personalities into account when you guide them. Shackleton is a brilliant hero.”
Frannie and Zoey, by J.D. Salinger. “This book surprised me. I didn’t see it coming and yet it wasn’t trying to trick me; it made me feel like a welcome fly on the wall.”
Holidays on Ice, by David Sedaris. “If anyone knows what it’s like to be alone on Christmas I’m sure they will have wished they had this book. It’s a humor guide for what could seem lonely and it sets you up for joy.”
Women, by Charles Bukowski. “Bukowski is my favorite, for me he was always on point.”
Full of Life, by John Fante. “This mans perspective of the journey of pregnancy and birth is an eye opener into the member of the other sexes perspective.”
Oh The Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss. “Because you sometimes need to be reminded your journey is meaningful in the sweetest way. Hope for all ages.”
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, by Robert Fulghum. “Even as adults we need to be forced to go back to basics. This book is nostalgic but makes you think.”
And then of course, rounding at the list, A Farewell to Arms, by Ernest Hemingway.
I love Drew she’s one of the most down to earth people in the world and I am so excited to see her and her new show I would love to be interviewed by her?
Agree completely! I love her too. I wrote a novel called The Rage of Plum Blossoms and always thought she should play the main character, Quinn. Thanks so much for reading my blog and for commenting! Best to you for the holidays and stay well! Warmest wishes, Christine
