The Ultimate enjoyment….books….

I found this meme over at Surface earths place and found it an interesting and fun looking . So As I was not officially tagged I will not tag anyone, but if it makes you pause as it did I, please feel free to take it and run!
=====================================

01. One book that changed your life

=====================================

Only One??? I think this has to be a joke, but as SE said I will “go with the gut” and say ” The story of B” it was what the devil was reading when I met him…
:)
================================================

02. One book that you’ve read more than once

============================
If I like something, I always read it more than once, I even have the annoying habit of reading them out loud. It helps me to pick up a cadence, which for the child of an oralist is very important. I am going to guess , however and say the book I have read the most times , is ” The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran
===================================

03. One book you’d want on a desert island

==============================

A survival guide? Or a really big book to use as an umbrella….

==================================

04. Two books that made you laugh

=================================

‘Fear and loathing on the Campaign trail’ Hunter S. Thompson, ‘Fox in socks’, Doctor Seuss

=================================

05. One book that made you cry

=================================
Black Hawk Down
=======================================

06. One book that you wish had been written

==================================

Something that explains how people can see the same thing and not see the same thing, and neither one is right or wrong.

========================

07. One book that you wish had never been written

======================================
I don’t have one, all ideas have value and merit to someone..some where…
===================

08. Two books you’re currently reading
============================
Confessor, Terry Goodkind and 

The end of Sorrow: The Bhagavad Gita for Daily living, Eknath Easwaran

===================

09. One book you’ve been meaning to read

========================
The post-birthday world by Lionel Shriver
==============================
I guess there was no number 10?

I thought it was interesting and fun. I wish I had more time to read , but it’s winter and I read less in the winter…
