Book meme
I've been tagged by Am Echad, so, here goes.
1. Name one book that changed your life:
J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." It turned me into a nerd.
2. One book you've read more than once:
Douglas Adams's "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: A Trilogy in Five Parts" (although not all of it more than once); also a potential answer to #4.
3. One book you'd want on a desert island:
"How to Get Off a Desert Island for Dummies." I'm not sure if it's been published yet.
4. One book that made you laugh:
Most recently, David Sedaris's Holidays on Ice.
5. One book that made you cry:
Not sure, but, I'm sure my brother must have hit me in the head with one at some point during our childhoods.
6. One book you wish you'd written:
The Torah, because then I'd be... J, E, P, D, or H?
7. One book you wish had never been written:
Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre," bane of high school boys everywhere (and, he's still bitter).
8. One book you're currently reading:
Aside from lots of scientific papers, Bram Stoker's "Dracula" in real time. Thanks, eye of a cat and elettaria.
9. One book you've been meaning to read:
Richard Elliot Friedman's "Who wrote the Bible", so I can understand more of what DW does.
DW, give it a shot. (Cheap, isn't it?)

I'm sure that your brother now has much heavier books. If he hit you over the head with one of those, it would make you cry even more.

In response to #9:
With all due respect to Dr. Friedman, that book is crap. (It is written like a mystery novel, and is fun, but it's incredibly unrigorous.) I'm sure there are better explanations of Source Criticism out there.
