which everyone and their dog has already done. I wouldn’t have attempted it, but I read Jordan’s where at the end she said, “If you haven’t done this, and you’re reading this, do it.” So ok. Here goes.
What is one book that changed your life?
Um.. Not sure. Probably every book I’ve read has made some small influence on my life. I don’t remember a book that really changed me.
edit: Nope wait. Jane Eyre. My fourth grade English teacher read parts of this to us, and I got a copy for my 10th birthday and read it over and over again. I was so impressed with myself for reading a grown up book, that I began reading more and more of them. Probably the start of my book addiction.
What is one book that you have read more than once?
Pride and Prejudice. Read it every year.
What is one book you would want on a desert island?
War and Peace. It’s really long and involved (and great) so I wouldn’t have to start over too many times.
What is one book that made you laugh?
Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich most recently.
What is one book that made you cry?
Gone with the Wind. That’s one I actually remember crying at. I’m sure there are others, though.
What is one book that you wish had been written?
One by me. Ha!
What is one book that you wish had never been written?
The Field Guide to North American Monsters. The things we kill trees for, I tell ya.
What is one book that you are currently reading?
The Crimson Petal and the White by Michael Faber.
What is one book that you have been meaning to read?
Black Lamb and Grey Falcon by Rebecca West.
How are you finding The Crimson Petal and The White? I read it not too long ago – I loved it at first, by the middle of the book was a little bored, but loved the ending. I hope you’re enjoying it!
Great post as always. I answered these questions on my own site as well. Hopefully others will pick this up as well!
Max: I’m still working on TCPATW. It’s very… what’s the word I’m looking for… dirty? And not in the good way. I’m not sure how much more urine I can stand.
H-W T: Thanks for the compliment. It’s a pretty good meme.
