Swell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of this, everyone will know just how little depth I really have.  Let the humiliation begin, I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. One book that changed your life:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Perl-Fourth-Randal-Schwartz/dp/0596101058/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1197065453&amp;amp;sr=8-2"&gt;Learning Perl&lt;/a&gt; (1st Edition, now in it's 4th Edition) by Randall L Schwartz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. One book that you’ve read more than once:&lt;br /&gt;I had read the &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Chronicles-Narnia-Boxed-Set/dp/0064471195/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1197065551&amp;amp;sr=8-2"&gt;Chronicles of Narnia&lt;/a&gt; by C. S. Lewis several times before coming to faith in Christ- the first time in elementary school- but the light never went on until &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;after&lt;/span&gt; I had become a Christian as a twenty-something. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Doh!&lt;/span&gt; I have enjoyed the books at least a few times since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. One book you’d want on a desert island:&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure, but it must have lots of pages and no &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;shiny&lt;/span&gt; paper!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. One book that made you laugh:&lt;br /&gt;A collection of &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Dorothy-Parker-Penguin-Classics/dp/0143039539/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1197065700&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;Dorothy Parker&lt;/a&gt; poems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. One book that made you cry:&lt;br /&gt;Men cry? ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. One book that you wish had been written:&lt;br /&gt;The one that I might have authored, if I could stay focused for more than five minutes. Oooooh! Shiny buttons! Seriously, I read much more as a child and young adult, and I also wrote some short stories and poetry, but nothing in a very long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. One book that you wish had never been written:&lt;br /&gt;Easy! That would have to be the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_Darkness"&gt;Necronomicon&lt;/a&gt;. Or, at least I could have remembered the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;three words&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. One book you’re currently reading:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Materials-Trilogy-Golden-Compass-Spyglass/dp/0375842381/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1197065963&amp;amp;sr=8-3"&gt;The Golden Compass&lt;/a&gt; by Philip Pullman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. One book you’ve been meaning to read:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Silent-Planet-Space-Trilogy-Book/dp/0743234901/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1197066203&amp;amp;sr=8-2"&gt;Out of the Silent Planet&lt;/a&gt; (trilogy) by C. S. Lewis (again.)  (Also the name of a sweet &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Out-Silent-Planet-Kings-X/dp/B000002IM7/ref=pd_bbs_sr_9?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=music&amp;amp;qid=1197066203&amp;amp;sr=8-9"&gt;album&lt;/a&gt; by King's X!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Now tag five people:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://administratosphere.wordpress.com/"&gt;Dave&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://wherechesterlives.com/serendipity/"&gt;Coy&lt;/a&gt; Lisa Steve &lt;a href="http://roomfilledwithlight.blogspot.com/"&gt;MomOnFire&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://upsidedownkingdom.org/notblog/2007/12/one-book-meme.html' title='One Book Meme'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32837278&amp;postID=9199637418255802998' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://upsidedownkingdom.org/notblog/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32837278/posts/default/9199637418255802998'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32837278/posts/default/9199637418255802998'/><author><name>Tom</name></author></entry></feed>
