Talli Roland Stuck on a Desert Island

If Talli Roland, author of The Hating Game, was stuck on a desert island, how would she fare...

1. If you could only have one book with you, what would it be?

The Time Traveller’s Wife. It’s such a great story plus it’s quite long, so it would take me a while to get through it.

2. What one luxury item would you want to be stranded with?

A fuzzy flannel blanket. I have the unique ability to be cold in any temperature, and a nice warm blanket makes everything right in the world.

3. What is the one practical item you would want to have with you to use?

The SheWee, so I could relieve myself while I’m standing. Sounds foul, I know, but I just can’t pee crouching down.

4. Would you enjoy the solitude, even briefly, or would it drive you crazy?

I’d love being alone. I could sing to my heart’s content without anyone telling me to stop my caterwauling, and no-one would ridicule my love of Bon Jovi.

5. If you could be stranded with one other person, who would you want it to be?

I think we might eventually kill each other, but I’m going to say my husband. He’s from the desert (well, Egypt) so he knows how to deal with sand and such, although he’s rubbish at building sand castles!

6. What modern technology would you miss the most?

The television! How would I get my reality TV fix? Disaster.

7. What food or beverage would you miss the most?

Wine, wine and wine. I can’t imagine a world without wine o’clock.

8. How many days do you think you would cope without rescue?

I think I could cope for quite a few days. I’m good at lolling around, wasting time and doing nothing.

9. What is the first thing you would do when rescued?

Drink wine, watch television and show off my sunburn (I don’t tan).

10. What would be your first Tweet or Facebook update upon your return?
Who knew sand could get so many places?
