I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
Than be cast away on an island with you
No, I can't think of anything more heavenly
Than to have you shipwrecked on a tropical island with me
Shipwrecked with you
Shipwrecked with you
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
Than be cast away on an island with you
Far from distractions and matters of state
We can quit smoking and quickly lose weight
Sleeping till noon and then staying up late
At latitude zero and longitude eight
I am a gentleman; should you get hurt
I'll make a tourniquet out of my shirt
You needn't do much, just sit there and flirt
And if it looks drizzly, I'll build us a yurt
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
And that's why I had to get rid of the crew
So I lopped off their heads and dropped them in the sea
Just to have you shipwrecked on a tropical island with me
Shipwrecked with you
Shipwrecked with you
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
And that's why I decapitated the crew
How could I know there's no island nearby?
If I don't eat something soon, I'll just die
I wouldn't eat you, oh, never, not I!
So let's catch a shark and I'll make us a pie
What shall we use for bait? Lend me a hand
I'll sew it back on when we get to land
But if the shark takes it, that would be grand
Because we won't starve to death, you understand
I can't think of a single thing I wouldn't do
To end up shipwrecked on an island with you
No, there's nobody I wouldn't kill, nobody
Just to have you shipwrecked on a tropical island with me
Shipwrecked with you
Shipwrecked with you
I can't think of a single thing I wouldn't do
To end up shipwrecked on an island with you againΒ Β

I love your designs, minimalistic and classic, and still with the aura of the series. My favorite one is Penultimate Peril's. The one for Austere Cadeny is probably the least I like because it shows the characters instead of the things in the story (which I think is wittier), but still it is amazing. All of them are.Β

Austere was a tough one to think up item wise, but thank you! They are dear books to me

The only cover without an eye...because its over? Or why?
Still I like it ^^

Because Olaf was no longer pursuing them

I was about to ask why there wasn't an eye hidden in this cover, but I guess you already answered that. Do you sell these as dust jackets?

Nope no dust jackets or anything, going through printing and all that is a hassle unless there was a huge demand for it.

Where is the eye of this picture, every other has one
(sorry for my bad english)
XD

At this point in the series they are no longer being watched or followed, so I figured it was appropriate to lose the eye.

I read them all in middle-early high school, EXCEPT The End, which I still haven't read. One thing led to another and for whatever reason, I just never got around to it. Now I'm reading them with my little sister and I'm remembering why I enjoyed them so much in the first place, and we'll both be experiencing The End for the first time.

Oh wonderful, the end doesn't wrap everything up, but it was a good end regardless. I read he's writing a few more for the Unfortunate Events world, may or may not be tied to the Baudelaire kids. Apparently coming out in 2012... I hope so, he is such a fantastic writer, I learn something new he hid in the books each time I read them.

He is a great writer, I am seeing it now at how well he can write up to an adult audience, or down to a child audience (my sister and I are equally enjoying it, despite a ten year age gap) and do both simultaneously. I have heard that about The End, but I honestly wouldn't have expected a classically satisfying ending from A Series of Unfortunate Events.
I did just purchase The Basic Eight recently, since I was interesting in his works aimed at a purely adult audience, but it's astounding, after becoming a literature major, how little I actually read anything I enjoy.

Basic Eight was a wild read, I remember liking it but I also remember it taking forever to finish...
Of his adult novels I think Adverbs is best, then watch your mouth, then basic eight

I'll keep that in mind. I'd like to read them all, but as I said, I never seem to have the time.
