1. One book that changed your life?

The most current one would be ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life by Judith Kolberg, Kathleen Nadeau. Though I think that each book I read probably has affected me subtly if not overtly.

2. One book you have read more than once? Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Hey, it's a classic. :-)

3. One book you would want on a desert island? I don't know. I'm really torn between something spiritual/something encouraging/something entertaining/something practical. I'm sure I'd read whatever I had endlessly. Maybe materials to write my own works would be best.

4. One book that made you laugh? Anything by John Irving usually has me dying laughing one minute and all verklempt the next. :-) I really need to read Son of the Circus again--the dildo scene had me laughing so hard I was crying.


5. One book that made you cry? Possessing the Secret of Joy by Alice Walker. I pretty much sobbed my way through the entire book.

6. One book you wish had been written? The one that makes humans stop destroying ourselves and the planet?

8. One book you are currently reading? Bhagavad Gita and Compassion In Action (Ram Dass and Mirabai Bush). Okay, so that's two books.

9. One book you have been meaning to read? I've been meaning to finish Moonlight and Vines by DeLint, but I keep procrastinating, because once it's done I'm out of new DeLint stories for the time being. :-)

10. Now tag five people.

eh, do it if you want to :-)

Hurrah for deLint! I knew I liked you for a reason - it's your good taste! :)

I'll do this one later on - when I've chosen a book to read. I've been putting off choosing a new book all week, because I have an afghan to finish in one week and I never have enough time to get into a book before I have to put it down, which is so, so frustrating.

Y'know, I don't know if this is weird or anything, but I can't think of a single book that I'd say has changed my life. And I know no book has ever made me cry. I can only think of one that has ever made me laugh (as in actually laugh, not chuckle inwardly or something). Generally the only strongish reaction I have to something I read is the "Oh that's cool" feeling when I like an idea or the way something's said.
