If you were going to be abandoned on a deserted island and could only take one fiction book series with you which one would you bring and why?

I think I would take the Spencer series by Robert B. Parker.

A few of the reasons I'd bring along the Spencer series are:
The series was well written.
I love Robert B. Parker (added points because wrote about MA)
I love Susan Silverman and Hawk
I've read and re-read the series at least 2 or 3 times already and never find it boring.
The series has 38 books and I figure it would be a good idea to chose a series with a lot of books.

What fiction series would you bring if you could only bring one?
