One book
I was hoping to avoid this for fear of being shown to be an uncultured philistine, but since Tim tagged me, here goes...
1. One book that changed your life:
The Bible.
2. One book that you’ve read more than once:
The Firm, John Grisham
3. One book you’d want on a desert island:
Something that would teach me how to survive on a desert island .. how about The Swiss family Robinson by Johann Wyss
4. One book that made you laugh:
Eats, Shoots and Leaves, Lynne Truss
5. One book that made you cry:
Bridge to Terabithia, Katherine Paterson
6. One book that you wish had been written:
A well argued, comprehensive and sensitive account of a biblical understanding of what it means to be a woman in the image of God, celebrating our distinctiveness without accepting cultural stereotypes.
7. One book that you wish had never been written:
At the risk of being shot down in flames for suggesting it, Lord of the Rings so i don't have to keep defending myself for never having read it.
8. One book you’re currently reading:
Like Father Like Son: the trinity imaged in our humanity, Tom Smail
9. One book you’ve been meaning to read:
The first of the Harry Potter books - because I just never got around to any of them.
10. Now tag five or six people:
Still can't work out how to do html links, but I'll go the Oak Hill crowd who are currently on summer holidays and should be doing heaps of leisurely reading and have time to tell us about it: Ros, Dawn, Helen, Marc Lloyd, Big Pete and Andrew Towner.

Well done, and not such an uncultured philistine after all, except for maybe your comment about Lord of the Rings...

MarC! And I'm not sure I want to be tagged, thank you very much. Yes, I'm worried about looking ignorant and uncultured too.

I did this! You can see it at ihaveaquestion.blog.co.uk

Marc, notice that the spelling is fixed. Sorry 'bout that. Go on, show us how well read you are.
Ros - Little women is a real winner. I love that book too. One of my favourite Friends episodes is when Joey reads little women - as Beth is getting sicker, he puts the book in the freezer to avoid getting too upset.

Did you know that it took this meme only a few days to infect hundreds of blogs? It started here, and see here.
PS re HTML, see here.

I've now done the deed - available at www.townersthoughts.blogspot.com - and very hard work it was too! Let's see what Ros thinks of my favourite fiction book...

I really like the Harry Potter series, so let me encourage you to actually get to it.
