Tagged with The Book Meme
I typically don't read. I know many of you are gasping in horror, but it's true. I have trouble with reading. I'm slow, and it's laboriouis for me. Since I've done a bunch of vision therapy exercises alongside my best girl, I think I'm a better reader, but I still don't enjoy it or do it much. Hopefully, I'll be able to answer most of the Book Meme though:
1. One book that changed your life
Recently, Train Up Your Child, by No Greater Joy Ministries.
Several decades ago, Romans. Especially chapters 5 and 6.
2. One book you've read more than once
Disappointment with God, by Philip Yancy.
3. One book that you would want on a desert island
Certainly I'd need a survival guide. You know, what's safe to eat... how to construct a shelter... how to locate a water source... This presupposes that I'm stranded without other people who know all these necessaries. Then again, I'd still like to have my own reference.
4. One book that made you laugh
Something's Fishy, Hazel Green, by Odo Hirsh
We're not finished with this one. I've been reading it aloud to my kids.
5. One book that made you cry
The Diary of Anne Frank
6. One book that you wish had been written
Overcoming Depression: a Two Day Journey
Or, Toilet Training Your Cat: a Two Day Journey
7. One book you whish had neer been written
Hmmm.....
8. One book that you are currently reading
Blood Money, by Thomas Perry
I trust that listening is enough. I have this audiobook from the library. It's a novel about a woman who is helping a girl escape from persueing mafia goons. So far, it's entertaining.
9. One book you have been meaning to read
The South Beach Diet, by Arthur Agatston, MD
I bought it beacuse I had several friends rave about it. Deep down, however, I don't believe it will say anything interesting. That's probably why I havn't read it.
10. Five People I tag to do this meme
The Cox Family
Susan
Anyone else who wants to tell about your literary journey (You can leave answers in the comments if you want to.)

Better late than never! I like your answers. Anne Frank makes me cry, too. I'll have to check out Hazel Green. Even the title makes me laugh!
