9 questions book meme (there's that meme word again)

I'm doing it, half-hearted "unofficial" tag or not, Mr. Baus.

1. One book that changed your life
Besides the Bible, Life after Birth. If I'd read it sooner, I would have saved two months in counseling fees. check out my review here:

2. One book you have read more than once?
Most of my favorites I read over and over, since I read so fast. Anna Karenina, by Tolstoy. Every page is genius. You forget how bloody long the book is because the characters are so well-drawn. He's the only author I have read who understands how women think. Too bad he didn't apply his discernment to his own marriage...

3. One book you would want on a desert island?
I hate desert islands.

4. One book that made you cry?
The Brothers Karamazov, which I finished reading during jury duty one day. I was sobbing my eyes out in a room full of strangers while some volcano disaster movie was playing in the background.

5. One book that made you laugh?
Me Talk Pretty One Day. Read, "Jesus Shaves." Non-native speakers are trying to explain to a Morroccan woman, in French, what Easter is and who Jesus is. David Sedaris finds out that in France, the Rabbit of Easter is not the one who brings of the chocolate.

6. One book you wish had been written?
The sequel to Brothers Karamazov. Dostoyevsky was working on it when he died.

7. One book you wish had never had been written?
Man I'd have a fatwa on my head if I wrote what I'm really thinking. So I'll say The Da Vinci Code. Complete. Utter. Rubbish.

8. One book you are currently reading?
see my post below, and choose one for yourself.

9. One book you have been meaning to read?
A prayer for Owen Meaney (sp?). Recommended by two dear friends.

now I am supposed to tag 5 people. Um, do 5 people read this thing? Lella, dear faithful reader...my cousin reads this but she's about to have a baby any second, shell and whoever else, go for it!
