That Damn Book Thing...

My dear friend, Paul tagged me for this meme...and since I am a book lover from way back - I gotta do it...

One book that changed your life: Better Homes & Gardens American Patchwork and Quilting. The book just inspired me to quilt and to become a better quilter. It showed me that I can be creative.

One book that you've read more than once: That would have to be Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. I read it in my teens and for years I read it every single year.

One book you'd want on a desert island: No idea...so many books...but probably The All New Joy of Cooking - so that I could figure out how to cook whatever I found on that island to eat.

One book that made you laugh: Six of One by Rita Mae Brown. I can remember laughing out loud while riding the bus to work when I was reading it.

One book that made you cry: No doubt about it - Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. I just cried throughout that book!

One book that you wish had been written: Everything you ever needed to know to raise a child...enuf said...

One book you wish had never been written: Oliver Twist by Dickens. Actually every book by Charles Dickens - what a bunch of depressing crap they are!

One book you are currently reading: Peyton Place by Grace Metalious. She was way ahead of her time...and a damn good writer to have kept that story line going with it's many characters.

One book you've been meaning to read: Actually it is a trilogy - Blue Dahlia, Black Rose, and Red Lily by Nora Roberts. I never start a series of books until I have them all in my hands - that way I can just go from one to the other.

Now this is where I am supposed to tag someone - so, if you want to play just leave me a note in the comments - and post to your blog...I'll jump over and see what's on you have to say on That Damn Book Thing... :)
