Book Meme

1. One book that changed your life:

The Story of a Soul by St. Therese of Lisieux

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

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson (delightfully wicked)

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

Since Georgie checked out the library’s only copy of Boatmaking for Dummies, I’ll go with U.S. Army Survival Manual FM 21-76.

4. One book that made you laugh:

Any Calvin and Hobbes collection

5. One book that made you cry:

The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

6. One book that you wish had been written:

1001 Tricks, Hints and Suggestions for Getting Your Kids to Do Whatever You Need Them to Do Right Away

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

An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser – based on a true story about a horrid man who, oh! I don’t want to ruin the plot. It’s an excellent book, and the story haunts me though I read it only once about 14 years ago. Very disturbing.

Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton

The Four Loves by C. S. Lewis
