One Book Meme

May 28th, 2009 by monnibo

Things have been fairly routine around here, nothing too exciting, not too hectic either. I’ve been mostly working on the apartment (still haven’t painted the bathroom) and finishing up some school stuff. It’s quieting down at work though, so that’s kind of nice after the past few months. I’ll be AWOL this weekend as my BF arrives from England for the summer! We’re spending next week out at camp helping for school groups. So here is a little meme to tide my blogging buddies over with:

  • One book you’re currently reading: The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
  • One book that changed your life: The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi
  • One book you’d want on a deserted island: whichever book I am currently reading when I get stranded on the island.
  • One book you’ve read more than once: I rarely do this, but I would like to read The Time Traveller’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger again.
  • One book you’ve never been able to finish: War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
  • One book that made you laugh: A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore
  • One book that made you cry: (just one!? I cry a lot while reading) Lucky by Alice Sebold
  • One book you keep rereading: Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss (used to have it memorized too!)
  • One book you’ve been meaning to read: The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje
  • One book you believe everyone should read: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

    I’d scratch Ondaatje off my list. I read “The English Patient” my first year of College and it drove me insane. It also scared me away from reading anything else of his.

    Interesting choice re the desert island question. I’d want to KNOW it’s a book I’d either be able to use, or would want to read again and again.

    I’m in the middle of The Secret Life of Bees too! Wow, we seldom read the same books, let alone at the same time!
    I got half way through The Time Travellers Wife before I had to return it to the library. I have it on hold there so I can finish it soon.
