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

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
