BODY:
I found this little questionnaire on
Karla's site. I love books. I love talking about books. So...let's talk about books I love.
1. Book that changed your life: Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller, Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell, Traveling Light by Max Lucado
2. Book that you've read more than once: A Christmas Carol by Dickens, I read it every year.
3. Book you'd want on a desert island: If you expect me to celebrate Christmas on this island, I'll need a copy of Dickens' Christmas Carol. For off season reading, Love Medicine by Louise Erdridge
4. Book that made you laugh: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, Praise Habit by David Crowder
5. Book that made you cry: My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult, Of Mice and Men by Stienbeck
6. Book that you wish had been written: To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
7. Book you don't enjoy: The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
8. Book you are currently reading: The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth George Spear, Tunneling by Beth Bosworth, and Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
9. Book you've been meaning to read: Spilling Clarence by Ann Ursu, No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II by Doris Kearns Goodwin
10. Book you remember as a real page-turner: Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult, The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve
11. Non-fiction books that you have enjoyed: The Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw, Undaunted Courage by Stephen E. Ambrose, CASH by Johnny Cash
12. Children's books your family has loved: Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears A Who ("I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant is faithful one hundred percent." Words to live by.)
These are some of my more noble reading materials. I confess, I'm also a big fan of fluff. I love a good predictable mystery, science fiction is a mainstay for me and I find no shame in a quick read of short stories.
