Books

Tagged by Brad and self-manipulated into posting because I have nothing thoughtful to say at present.

1. One book that changed your life - The Iliad. It was my introduction to real education as a freshman in high school and shaped what I want to do for the rest of my life (and it is not wage war against the Trojans, in case that is what you were thinking)

2. One book that you've read more than once – Little Women

3. One book you'd want on a desert island - What's that old joke about the Guide to Ship Building...

4. One book that made you laugh out loud – The Code of the Woosters, by P.G. Woodehouse

5. One book that made you cry – A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens

6. One book that you wish had been written – I wish Keats had lived past the age of 26. He became a staple of the English cannon and a powerful force in the Romantic movement, and never even saw his 30 birthday. Imagine what he had yet to write!

7. One book you wish had never been written – Most of what stocks the shelves of Christian book stores.

8. One book you're currently reading– Renovation of the Heart by Dallas Williard for school, The Mating Season by P.G. Woodehouse for fun.

9. One book you've been meaning to read - At the Back of the North Wind by George MacDonald and A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline Le'Engle
