Books, books, books

 Well, Elrod tagged me and I need a little break from work. I will stay 10 minutes late tonight to make up for doing this on the company clock :)

One book that changed your life: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert Persig. I first read this book in 11th grade AP English and I think I have reread it nearly every summer since. This book pretty much changed my entire view on life, truth, God and countless other things. It's not that this book addresses all these issues, but it definitely has acted as a catalyst for some serious pondering in my life.

One book that you've read more than once:  The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis. This book was another revolutionary one for me. I have read it many times, and often use it when teaching classes or making presentations (to females only of course!) Also making this list: Utopia, Thomas More and All Quiet on the Wester Front, Erich Maria Remarque.

One book that you'd want on a desert island: Hmm...probably something that would make me think a lot...like a collection of the works of John Locke or David Hume or something along those lines. Then I would just read and ponder all day. Come to think of it, that doesn't sound so bad. Sign me up.

One book that made you laugh: America the Book, Jon Stewart. I laugh ridiculously hard when reading this.

One book that made you cry: I can't think of many books that have made me cry. It is my stone heart I guess :) I believe the first book that made me cry was The Bridge to Terabithia, Katherine Paterson. I read it when I was 10 or 11 or so.

One book you wish you had written: Blue Like Jazz, Donald Miller. I love the way Miller writes. It is like he is just sitting there talking to you.

One book that you wish had never been written: I am going to go with most of the cheesy romance books.

One book you're currently reading: Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus for the Office Place. This is a book our whole office is reading together. It seems a little "duh" so far, but maybe it will get better.

One book you've been meaning to read: The DaVinci Code. I am still trying to decide if I want to jump on the band wagon.

Tag five others: ha. I don't even know if there are five people that will read this. :)

You can borrow my copy of The DaVinci Code; you should read it on your flight to NYC.

Thanks for playing along.

don't tag me, i don't read enough books. I'd play it safe with "the Bible" a lot.

so how are you, my home girl? You inspired me to make my soup the other day... I'm hoping one of these days we'll catch each other long enough to just be lazy bums with one another... madam kelly still hasn't found the notebook, so i'm left without any place to jot down the adventures of me and the ring... i'm sorry, i dont' wear it much either...it's kind big and annoying. but i look at it with the fondest love and admiration for the two best roomies of all times.

love you, hope you're having a blessed life.

love you pieces.

I read the Da Vinci Code... I thought that it had an unforgivably bad plot, as it was awfully boring and horrendously predictable. Add that to the fact that it constantly refers to historical events, art, and architecture, but makes up hundreds of 'facts' about them that everyone I know will believe simply becuase "they read it in a book" (probably the only book they will ever read)... I understand that it's fiction, but it is just common courtesy for a fiction author that writes about real things to at least know something about them, other than their name.
