From The Moronosphere

1. One book that changed your life - hardest question first.
Plato's Republic - It was not something that happened over night, but I think that the concepts therein have effected me in profound ways.

2. One Book That You've Read More Than Once.
Like Karl, I'm tempted to say The Lord of the Rings as I've read it through three times over the last thirty years. It's actually one of the few books that I have re-read. But Instead I'm going to say The Complete Calvin & Hobbes.

3. One Book That You'd Want On A Desert Island.
Am I allowed to use Calvin & Hobbes again? Hmmm. Maybe that Baroque Cycle that I'll mention in #9 or perhaps... Um Shogun or something from Michener??

4. One Book That Made You Laugh.
Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett. Laugh out loud. Read along, Guffaw! keep reading while smiling. Laugh some more. Grimace at the bad puns, then read more!

5. One Book That Made You Cry.
Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. Wow, that one pulls hard at the heart strings.

6. One Book That You Wish You Had Written.
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. From the first chapter it was a thrill ride. Any book by Tad Williams would probably be a second choice. Good Night Moon would have to be up there too


7. One Book You Wish Had Never Been Written.
Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard I won't go into why, other than to say it's way over the top

8. One Book That You Are Reading Right Now.
Dzur by Steven Brust Fun stuff that! Vlad Taltos gets into some serious trouble, but charms his way out.

9. One Book That You Have Been Meaning To Read.
The System of the World by Neal Stephenson. I've read the first two books of The Baroque Cycle but can't get myself to start the third one. Maybe I'll re-read the first two...

10. Tag five others that you would like to do this meme.
Nope. I'm with Karl on this one. I'll let you readers do it if you want. (all three of you).
