Book Meme
I was tagged by Kristen so I thought that I would make it my first post.
1) One book that changed your life: I feel that a lot of books I have read have influenced me in some way. However, if I am picking one then I pick A Child Called It. After I read this I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up. Now I just need to grow up!
2)One book you have read more than once: I had to read Rich get Richer and Poor get Prison for more than one class, only read it for one though. I try to not read a book more than once since I have so many on my list
3) One book you would want with you on a Desert Island: My first thought was to bring something I had not read but that is a lot and what if it wasn't good and I am stuck with a bad book on my island? So then I thought to bring a fav but even that I am having trouble with. I will have to get back to you.
4) One book that made you laugh: I agree with Kristen that Running with Scissors made me laugh out loud a lot. But the Stephanie Plum Series also makes me laugh :)
5) One book you wish you had written: I just wish I could write. I would love to write about my experiences with my jobs in the future.
6) One book you wish had never been written: I think all books have a right to be written. Even if I don't agree with what was written.
7) One book that made you cry: I read many books that make me cry as I read a lot of books about abused children.
8) One book you are currently reading: A Safe Place
9) One book you have been meaning to read: I have been meaning to read A LOT of books. I have a long list. I am open for ideas of what I should read next.
10) One book you wish everyone would read: I agree with Kriten again with Rich get Richer. I would also add Nickle and Dimed.

1) One book that changed your life: Probably Feminist Frontiers, the textbook we used in my first Women's Studies class at BC
2)One book you have read more than once: Fahrenheit 451 (First in middle school, then in college--I took a young adult lit class and reread a few from my past, this one was one of my favorites the second time around)
3) One book you would want with you on a Desert Island: These Are My Rivers by Lawrence Ferlinghetti (poetry)
4) One book that made you laugh: Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris
5) One book you wish you had written: My answer for this one is probably These Are My Rivers again, I lovelovelove the way Ferlinghetti writes and wish the style were my own.
6) One book you wish had never been written: I can't think of an answer for this one. I really despise Shakespeare but I'd probably just prefer that it hadn't been a requirement for English majors, not necessarily that it be erased from history.
7) One book that made you cry: A Safe Place by Lorenzo Carcaterra
8) One book you are currently reading: A Civil Action by Johanthan Harr (for school), How We Are Hungry by Dave Eggers
9) One book you have been meaning to read: I still haven't read a bunch of the essays in Dwight McBride's Why I Hate Abercrombie & Fitch and would like to.
10) One book you wish everyone would read: Our Guys by Bernard Lefkowitz, Letters to a Young Feminist by Phyllis Chesler
