What book can't you do without? Imagine you are on a desert island.... all you have in your suitcase are ten books. These books have either shaped your life, given you pleasure or are simply indespensible. What would they be?

This was the question World Book Day 2007 put to the nation. The debate took place from February 1st on the World Book Day website , and allowed people to post their top ten and to discuss their choices with others around the world.

Add a comment below and let us know what book you can't live without .... and why. When leaving a review, please be careful not to write a plot spoiler. If this is unavoidable, mention the world 'spoiler' in the subject line.

When we asked members at Central and Portsea libraries in Portsmouth to nominate the book they would take with them onto a desert island, we received nearly 80 responses. Thanks to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts and recommendations.

Here's a list of the books that received the most nominations. Why not give them a try and tell us what you think?

The Holy Bible
Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien
Our mutual friend by Charles Dickens
