alice in wonderbread tagged me; here are my short and lazy (for more information on the books and authors click on the names…) answers to this meme, along with the next “victim”… (see #10).

- ONE BOOK THAT MADE ME CRY: flicts by ziraldo
- ONE BOOK THAT I WISH I HAD WRITTEN: the prophet by kahlil gibran
- ONE BOOK I WISH HAD NEVER BEEN WRITTEN: haven’t had that bad luck. i apparently like everything i read, or quickly forget what i don’t like.
- ONE BOOK I AM CURRENTLY READING: an unquiet mind: a memoir of moods and madness by kay redfield jamison
- ONE BOOK I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO READ: life, the universe, and everything by douglas adams
- WHO’S NEXT? jess
Salmon of Doubt is a phenomanal douglas collection. Made me cry as well as laugh as, since he died of a heart attack at the tender age of 50 out of the blue, this fourth book of the hitchhiker trilogy never was finished, and is more a collection of random things from his hard drive (including my FAVORITE- a letter sent to a non-responsive Disney regarding the movie making).
I have An Unquiet Mind on my wish list too! Great, unquiet minds think alike, hey. I also have “A Brilliant Madness”- cowritten by Patty Duke.
I hope nobody tags me with this thing…I can’t remember the last book I read. I admire readers…like you gnatty. See you later.
I’ll trade you Life, The Universe and Everything (hardback) for When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops:)
