Time to book

I was tagged by my friend CJ to try my thumb at this novel quiz thing (a long time ago). Seeing that I haven't posted in quite some time I thought this would be a good way to get things churning.

A book that didn't change my life: Dreamcatcher by Stephen King. Horror really doesn't change my life unless I'm the one panic-stricken. Though that happens more often then not. I'm sorry King but this book just wasn't that scary and didn't change my life. SSDD.

A book I’ve read more than once: The Baron in the Trees by Italo Calvino. I first read this book long ago. It has definitely influenced my life and the way I view the world. I highly recommend reading it.

A book I would take with me if I were stuck on a desert island:The Bible. Seriously, if I'm stuck on an island I better have something that can help me convert the island inhabitants and save myself.

A book that made me laugh: The Life Before Us by Romain Gary. After reading the The Kite Runner (which I also highly recommend) I was searching for another book with a Middle Eastern perspective. I found this one but I almost didn't read it because the book had the worst cover art but I picked it up anyway. I was glad I did because I laughed, cried and pondered the whole way through this fantastic work.

A book that made me cry: The very first book that I ever made me cry was Sounder by William H. Armstrong. I won't be admitting anything more as of late.

A book that I wish I had written:To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. A fantastic story that I try to apply to my life. Especially the character of Atticus Finch. A wonderful classic novel.

A book that I wish had never been written:Lord of the Flies by William Golding. I was forced to read this book in high school. I just never got into it. This was probably due to the fact that nearly everyone in my class wrote papers comparing it to the Survivor TV series.

book I’ve been meaning to read:The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. This was recommended to me but I haven't picked it up yet.

I’m currently reading:No novels. I'm too busy this semester with a 19hr credit load and 15hrs work schedule. Though I'm not stranded on a island, I am working on reading through the Bible in a year. What's in your library?
