Memefied
Well folks SWFM memefied me so part II of my story will be put on hold until Thursday. Warning: I don't feel the least bit witty or interesting.
1. One book that changed your life? The River Why- the book was the bait that finally caught me. I was sick and my husband (then just annoying boy) brought me the book to read. I rolled my eyes-- opened the book and couldn't stop laughing. And so he caught himself a wife
2. One book you have read more than once?"Lord of the Flies" and I swear I'm living the book every day-- pass the conch shell
3. One book you would want on a desert island? Primitive WIlderness Living & Survival Skills: Naked Into the Wilderness
4. One book that made you laugh? Walter the Farting Dog (it's a kid's book)
5. One book that made you cry? "Gone with the Wind"
6. One book you wish had been written? R&J are Dead (not a fan of Romeo and Juliet--good monologues and scenes-- disjointed play-- sorry I swear Shakespear had to be joking and so if I ever write a book-- let's just say I'll pay tribute to the Bard and his little melodrama)
7. One book you wish had never been written? The Feminine Mystique-- interesting book but it made me bitter when I was younger. I don't know if I'd feel that way today-- or maybe Finnegan's Wake because if I open it, I can't help analyzing it and one page will take me days.
8. One book you are currently reading? Selected readings of Jose Marti-- for grad school It's a little dry and it rubs me the wrong way-- maybe it will get better
9. One book you have been meaning to read? the owners manuel to my printer-- it's not working

Wow you are fast, you didn't even wait until tomorrow. No book made you laugh? I did a report on Feminine Mystique yuck. Good one! Great sport.
no I was so fast I left it out-- I'll edit right now
I have to laugh because my mom did this Meme a few weeks ago and she listed "Walter the farting dog" as one that made her laugh too... (she also wanted the Survival skills too)...you guys think alike!
and now - thanks to you - I have a couple more books to add to my "To Read" list!
Your printer came with an instruction manual? I'm so jealous.
Loved the list!
Walter the Farting Dog....easily the book that made me laugh...so much I cried. It's just wrong. And yet, so right. I love the fart cloud photos. Then again, I seem to enjoy bodily function humor. What's wrong with me?
I got this several weeks ago. I picked similiar books for the desert island (choice between army survivial guide, and guide to boat building)
Winter is coming. Thats reading time.
That's a great list! I need to do some more reading. I agree with Pamela, winter is reading time, so I better get to the bookstore and get stocked up. :-)
I forgot to tag people-- Ok I'll make this easy. Do it if you want to. I tag everyone who hasn't done it-- except those and you all know who you are who won't do it anyway
BTW -- not all of these books are good-- though Walter the Farting Dog is a must read-- and for those of you in Oregon I'd have to say read The River Why-- that is a funny book-- though if I recall I thought the author kind of blew it at the end. Authors tend to either make things too tidy or they don't know how to end the book so they tack on an ending. I think this one did that, but it has been years since I have read it-- so who knows? It was funny though.
Waya-- don't feel illiterate-- I didn't say they were good books. I just said I had read them. You've read the best one. Walter is awesome-- if you don't take it too seriously and just let yourself laugh-- which I know from reading your blog-- you laugh a lot
karmyn-- that's pretty funny-- I can't believe how many people have read Walter-- I was almost embarrassed to put him up there
babloo-- yes it did, but it hasn't helped make my printer feed the paper-- my printer eats everything instead. They must have starved the poor thing before shipping it to the states-- when will it be satiated so it can come back to work?
heather-- I cried too-- the illustrations are funny and I think we've all met a "walter" at some time in our lives
pamela-- I am so happy winter is coming-- Now if I could only get the kids to let me read more than 30 pages a day
kigogal-- I need to do more reading too-- I can't remember the last time I read a book just for me-- I think it was the last Harry Potter book. Lately it's been Heidi, The Wizard of Oz and Peter Pan-- for the kids
I forgot to tag people-- Ok I'll make this easy. Do it if you want to. I tag everyone who hasn't done it-- except those and you all know who you are who won't do it anyway

I see why it made you laugh lol.
Lord Of The Flies is one of the few books I have re-re-read...
