I've been tagged for a meme! Blame Glaukopis

1. One book that changed your life:

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, as the first novel I ever read, and perhaps the source of my reading addiction. There may have been books with more impact on my outlook or philosophy, but I can't think of anything.



2. One book that you’ve read more than once:

Most of my romance novels; let's go with Beloved Scoundrel by Iris Johansen.



3. One book you’d want on a desert island:

The Tanach, as long as it's annotated. Actually, maybe even the Christian Bible. It's just so interesting.



4. One book that made you laugh:

When I was in Elementary School I loved Who Ran My Underwear Up the Flagpole, by Jerry Spinelli



5. One book that made you cry:

The Dog Who Spoke with Gods by Diane Jessup. You'll never think about animal testing in the same way.



6. One book that you wish had been written.

The Annals of Crete, chronicling all the years of Minoan society, which would have to be accompanied by a translation key for Linear A and B.

7. One book that you wish had never been written.

Go Down, Moses by Faulkner. Then I never would have had to read it.

8. One book you’re currently reading:

In Search of the Indo-Europeans by J.P. Mallory



9. One book you’ve been meaning to read:

The Stonehenge People by Aubrey Burl (and about a dozen others).

10. Now tag five people:

Tag yourself. If you do the meme, leave a note and I'll check it out.

The Oxford Anotated Bible is really spiffy! I have it.
