Ginger tagged me in that "you-can-be-tagged-if-you-want-to-be" way.
1. One book that changed your life:
Pollyanna helped me make a habit of cheerfulness.
2. One book that you have read more than once:
As a child I read a book called "House of Thirty Cats" by Mary Calhoun repeatedly. It's not good literature, but I had few books then. That's why I overcompensate now!
3. One book that you'd want on a desert island:
Of course, the Scriptures. And a copy of "Raft Building For Dummies".
4. One book that made you laugh:
Cheaper By The Dozen
5. One book that made you cry:
Understood Betsy
This is a school book for my Year 2'ers, and I read it ahead of time, cried, and enjoyed it very much. I knew how it turned out, but while reading it aloud to them, I still cried, darn it! They were surprised, as I DO NOT cry that often and almost never in front of the children.
6. One book that you wish had been written:
Hasn't everything been written about already?
7. One book that you wish had never been written:
Swiss Family Robinson came to mind right away. I tried to read that book several years ago, but -wow- is it wordy! Great for natural history, I guess, but the descriptions of things bored me into putting it away about half way through and never picking it up again.
8. One book you are currently reading:
Among my many half-read books....Raising Godly Tomatoes. I highly recommend it!
9. One book you've been meaning to read:
Just one? Nah..that's a typo, I'm sure. I need to at least skim most of the Year 5 AO books for school, Canterbury Tales is by my bedside, The Lord of the Rings needs revisited, and I'd love to get a copy of 1984. I've been watching for it, but haven't found it yet.
I'd like to add another question to this tag:
10. What book(s) have you recently finished?
Captain's Courageous by Rudyard Kipling
Hints On Child Training by Henry Clay Trumbull
Heroes by Charles Kingsley
If you'd like to be tagged, consider yourself tagged! Leave me a comment so I can go read yours, though!
