It took a bit of thought...but here are my answers:

1. ONE BOOK THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE

I read it when I was teenager and it helped shape my view of what I wanted to be.

2. ONE BOOK THAT YOU'VE READ MORE THAN ONCE
The Bible (I can't think of any I have read all the way through more than once - just lots of chapters and excerpts from many parenting books!

3. TWO BOOKS YOU'D WANT ON A DESERT ISLAND
The Bible
Jane Austen: The Complete Novels - is it cheating to take a collection!

4. ONE BOOK THAT MADE YOU LAUGH
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

5. ONE BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY
My Brother Jack by George Johnston
We were assigned this book in school in Australia. It was the first time in my life that I could not put a book down. I can still remember the location in which I read the last page. I was so sad it was over.

6. ONE BOOK YOU WISH HAD BEEN WRITTEN
Detailed history of my ancestors

7. ONE BOOK YOU WISH HAD NEVER BEEN WRITTEN

I just want to say thank you for the sweet comment on my blog. I am truly humbled at those who read my blog, and also to find out about those who read my blog that I don't know about. I am humbled that it can make a difference in the lives of others!
Very interesting book choices. I don't know how many I'd have answers for...
You have some very nice posts about how you homeschool - how your day went!

Many Blessings!

It took a bit of thought...but here are my answers:

1. ONE BOOK THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE
Besides the Bible, I am going to say Lord of the Rings. I read it when I was 11 and now it has made up my mind about the names of my children.

2. ONE BOOK THAT YOU'VE READ MORE THAN ONCE
Lord of the Rings.

3. TWO BOOKS YOU'D WANT ON A DESERT ISLAND
The Bible
Lord of the Rings

4. ONE BOOK THAT MADE YOU LAUGH
Gone with the Wind

5. ONE BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY
I don't that a book has made me cry but my personal book has made me cry. I was editing for the HSB contest and I was writing about the lead character having her twins after she lost one. It even made Mom cry...can I take credit for that? ;-)

6. ONE BOOK YOU WISH HAD BEEN WRITTEN
Detailed history of my ancestors

7. ONE BOOK YOU WISH HAD NEVER BEEN WRITTEN
ANy book that tells people it is ok to sin (being gay, having sex before marrige, having false gods, and so forth)

8. ONE BOOK THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING
Lord of the Ring: Fellowship of the Ring

9. ONE BOOK YOU HAVE BEEN MEANING TO READ
The end of Gone with the Wind

TAG FIVE OTHERS...
