Books...
I was tagged by a fellow blogger to post response to these prompts. I'd love to hear yours:
1. One book that changed your life: Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
2. One book that you've read more than once: Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
3. One book you'd want on a desert island: SAS Survival Handbook: How to Survive in the Wild, in Any Climate, on Land or at Sea
4. One book that made you laugh: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
5. One book that made you cry: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
6. One book you wish had been written: another really great novel that contained all the elements of the human experience and allows the reader experience them anew.
7. One book you wish had never been written: Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Origins of His Evil by Ron Rosenbaum (This was a very interesting read, but I wish it had never been written because I wish even more that the horrible acts that precipitated out of his leadership had never occured)
8. One book you're currently reading: Saturday by Ian McEwan
9. One book you've been meaning to read: Pathologies of Power by Paul Farmer

Hmmm...I will ponder this and get back to you!
1. One book that changed your life: Father Melancholy's Daughter and Evensong by Gail Godwin (so it's not just one book--but it IS the same character)
2. One book that you've read more than once: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone by J. K. Rowling
3. One book you'd want on a desert island: SAS Survival Handbook: Is it too cheezy to say my Bible?
4. One book that made you laugh: Any of the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich
5. One book that made you cry: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathon Safran Foer
6. One book you wish had been written: Anything that accurately chronicled the time of Queen Elizabeth's coming into power (and that would be an easy modern read--medical school has sapped all my willingness to try hard to understand stuff)
7. One book you wish had never been written: O.J. Simpson's novel (that was finally pulled... although the cause of the publisher's self-censorship which resulted in this action concerns me, too)
8. One book you're currently reading: Saturday by Ian McEwan (me too!)
9. One book you've been meaning to read: Um...I'm also currently reading about five other books, and any of them fill this spot. But I want to read "Pathologies of Power" too...good call, Amber, m'friend!
Love ya,
Kate
