2. This notion of a trunk is an interesting one, if only for the reason that we are quickly approaching an epoch in which the trunk could be carried in your pocket. This past year I indulged myself and purshased the Kindle from Amazon, which I'm sure history will refer to as the Model T of reading devices. It's still somewhat primitive, but the future can already clearly be seen. It's only a matter of time before this kind of device will become ubiquitous.
   
   What's interesting about the current situation is the way the old is privileged over the new. For example, I was able to purchase the more or less complete works of authors like Plato, Aristotle, Herodotus, Lucretius, Shakespeare, Machiavelli, Austen, Woolf, Hardy, Lawrence, Darwin, Nietzsche, Twain, Lovecraft very cheaply. Others (which would include most of those on this list) aren't even available in this format yet.
   
   Thus there is still a gap, but the gap is narrowing. However, the very notion that you can now carry at all times a virtual library of books that would otherwise fill a room is a little mind-boggling to say the least.
   
   My other observation is that many of these books that you consider precious cargo are ones I've never even read. I'm surprised at the lack of overlap. I myself would tend to include more classical works (the ancients - both Europe and Asia) as well as more poetry and literature. (Beckett, Banville, Nabokov, Coetze, Joyce, Murakami, Sebald, Borges, Celan, Rilke, Olson, Whitehead among others would probably be some current choices for the latter categories)
   
   The other thing that comes to mind is what a fragile thing a list like this is. I think there are some obvious continuities, but I imagine the list I would make today would be very different from the list I would have made 10 years ago.

3. yes, in part you're right in that I was also interested in the idea of what a trunk might mean in a world in which unreading is being legitimised in e-books, in the way that not watching TV and films is legitimised by recordings and consumptive urchases. Though I'm not sure that this is obvious except that the rule is that nothing may be allowed on the list unless its been read, in my own list\trunk more than once.
   
   Personally I'm not sure that the thought that the reading of a text (say Kavan's Ice) is the same on an e-book as it is in the Peter Owen edition on my shelf. In the same way that watching Tarkovsky's Mirror in the cinema is not te same experience as watching it on TV\dvd... The context and technology of reading does have an effect. The virtual library remains different than the trunk I think. A different gap then but still a gap....
   
   I was surprised by how none of the ancients appeared on the list, if it had been slightly longer the balance would have shifted slightly to included more non-europeans and further back into the Indo-European. I think I'm less surprised at the lack of overlap than you are, I've always been aware and actually quite pleased by the difference here, it shows in the ten or more years of communications between us. Which is not to say that I haven't read or admired the writers you name, just that they wouldn't be in the trunk....
   
   Not sure about the fragility either - there are some texts that would always have been in the trunk. Duras for example. You can guess some of the others I think.
