ooh this is interesting isn't it, lots of things people mention to go and look into.

For my non-fiction I would have Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle journal, because it's so interesting and he comes across as an amusing chap.

The novel would have to be Russell Hoban's 'Riddley Walker' in his neo-Iron Age Kent.

Cd I think 'I care because you do' by Aphex Twin, because I've never got tired of it.

And for my artifact (I'm not settling for no picture of it) I would like the Rillaton gold cup so I can drink my tea out of it. Oh go on. I'll look after it properly.
