The One Book Meme

Well, I’ve been tagged - how can I pass this up. My good friend Thomas handed off to me. The One Book Meme started two years ago (!) and is still running. It was even translated into Italian.

This will be a nice diversion from the usual, I promise.

One book that changed your life: Getting Things Done, by David Allen

One book that you’ve read more than once: Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy

One book that you’d want on a desert island: Where There is No Doctor, by David Werner et al (or possibly Victory, by Joseph Conrad)

One book that made you laugh: The Complete Calvin and Hobbes (3 vol. set) by Bill Watterson

One book that made you cry: Please Stop Laughing at Me, by Jodee Blanco

One book that you wish had been written: My Story, by Joan of Arc

One book that you wish had never been written: Can’t think of any off hand.  Most every book has its good points, and all can be learned from in some way.

One book you’re currently reading: OpenVMS System Management Guide, by Baldwin and Hoffman

One book you’ve been meaning to read: Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë

Now tag five people. (Hm, the hard part…)

Well, I got four anyway.  Hard to come up with just one book….
