Thank you very much,

"3 books you would bring with you on a desert island."

It's not easy to say which books I would bring with me for a journey on a desert island.

In my mind I firstly came across with books I red when I was younger and I fell in love with such as "The Master and Margarita" or "One hundreds years of solitude".

Then I thought I wouldn't like to convert my journey in a travel to the past. So what about enjoying the present reading the last three Harry Potter books and just having fun?

But thinking better time to grow up has come and there are things I would like to see in my future.

So I decided to choose three books I never red before and which hopefully could help me to invest on myself to make my dreams come true.

Since, I confess it, I would like to work in tourism and museums, I would bring with me books referred to that subject, like:

The Story of Art by Gombrich, one of the most famous book about art ever written. As far as I know, it is very nice to read either for work that for personal pleasure.

Story of the Louvre. I saw it in a bookshop and I thought it would be very exciting for me to know about history at the time in France.

Finally the biography of someone whose life could ispire me and make me feel more selfconfident.

For instance the biography of Wild Horse, which I red, or other men or women, because me too I would like to accomplish something nice and useful in my life.

Even if I won't be able to accomplish none of those things, still I would have been learning and dreaming about things I like.

It's not easy to say which books I would bring with me for a journey (not a journey) on a desert island.

In my mind I firstly considered with books I red when I was younger and I fell in love with such as "The Master and Margarita" or "One hundreds years of solitude".

Then I thought I wouldn't like to convert my stay on an island to a travel to the past. So what about enjoying the present reading the last three Harry Potter books and just having fun?

But thinking better time to grow up has come and there are things I have not read but would like to see read in my future.

So I have decided to choose three books I never red (typo) before and which hopefully could help me to invest on (prep) myself to make my dreams come true.

Since, I confess it, I would like to work in tourism and museums (parallel issue), I would bring with me books on that subject, like:

The Story of Art by Gombrich, one of the most famous book (plural) about art ever written. As far as I know, it is very nice to read either for work or for personal pleasure.

Story of the Louvre. I saw it in a bookshop and I thought it would be very exciting for me to know about history at the time (what time? This is the story of the Louvre, so I assume it will cover a period of time) in France.

Finally the biography of someone whose life could ispire me and make me feel more selfconfident about myself.

For instance, the biography of Wild Horse, which I red, or of other men or women, because me too I would like to accomplish something nice and useful in my life.

How many mistakes! Thank you for correcting me.

Just a couple of questions, if you can answer to me:

It's not easy to say which books I would bring with me for a journey (not a journey) on a desert island. Why can't I say "journey", because it is a "stay"?

So I have decided to choose... Why can't I say "decided" here? 

I have not read but would like to see read in my future. Shouldn't I say "red" in the first correction?

Thank you very much,

Chiara

I have not read but would like to see read in my future. Shouldn't I say "red" in the first correction? (Red is a color)
