with at least fifty books and hope I'd be rescued before I'd run out of things to read.
While not a series, by definition, I'd go with all of the books written by Norah Lofts. For those of you unfortunates who have never heard of her, check her our. Her first book was about the Donner Party. Everything else thereafter was about a part of southwestern England, and tended to take place in and around a fictitious town she called Baildon. Her trilogy known as "The Town House" is amazing. Read it. Read everything she ever wrote. It's all amazing.
Another possible choice would be everything by Larry McMurtry. I've read most of his stuff, but not all, and I'd be willing to reread what I've read already.
I read a lot. I read voraciously. I read widely, both fiction and non fiction. It would be easier to tell you what I don't read (westerns, genre romances for the most part) than to tell you what I do read. If I were on a desert island I'd have the time to read at least a book every day. This is one of the few circumstances where I'd want some kind of e-reader, well loaded with books.
But, back to the original question, if forced to choose one and one only series, I'd probably go with the Jack Reacher books by Lee Child. But please, God, have me rescued inside of a month. Or give me a lot of paper and pens so I can maybe write myself.
My idea of Hell is a place where I can't read. I often joke that I hope there's an afterlife and that there are books there.
