Books! Memes! Run!
I got tagged, so it's my turn to do this. Besides, I think it's topical with what this web log is supposed to be about.
One book that changed your life:
Dune by Frank Herbert. It matured and solidified a lot of my views on science fiction and mythology.
One book that you've read more than once:
Well... there's just one little problem... I've never read a book more than once. I read so many that I just don't fit a book I've read back into the cycle. However, someday, I will reread a book.
One book you would want on a desert island:
Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. It was $3 and new when I bought it, it's more than 900 pages, and it kicks ass.
One book that made you laugh:
Smoker by Greg Rucka. Evaluating the security of a rival operation... hilarious.
One book that made you cry:
The Green Mile by Stephen King. The ending of the book is there just to break your heart.
One book you wish you had written:
Hmmm, that's a tough one. The only thing I can think of is cheating and going into comic books. The book I wish I'd written, Infinite Crisis (or at least issues 2-7), because I would have done it right.
One book you wish had never been written:
I've got to give an answer so I think I'll go with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglass Adams. It is without a doubt the one book that has been so overhyped, I'll probably be in my forties before I could seriously think about reading it--and only if it isn't mentioned to me again before then. Way too many people read it and started going on and on about, "42! 42!" That's part of why I answered the first question the way I did.
One book you are currently reading:
The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Book I) by Philip Pullman.
One book you have been meaning to read:
Anything that's part of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.

Oscar, Chris, Dan, Jonathan, Jack--you're it!

OK, answered them, though I had to cheat more than you.
I guess I should get around to answering this...
