By request

If anyone has some suggested reading material for the coffee tables at the Prickly, your comments are welcome*. And I request that any links to my blogs be associated with my pseudonym and not my real name, please.

Addendum: By "anyone" I meant "not internet marketers". And by "welcome" I meant "this is a play on the Prickly-Pineapple-as-a-hospitable-establishment theme," not "come and advertise on my blog." Just to clear things up.

And now here's this thing 'cause I got tagged.

1. One book that changed your life:
L’Etranger, by Albert Camus. I guess.

2. One book that you’ve read more than once:
Graham Greene’s A Burnt Out Case. There are several books that fall into this category, but I mention this one because I have read it maybe three times, and still I can’t remember a thing about it. I keep thinking I might like it, but I don’t think I do.

3. One book you’d want on a desert island:
A magically neverending blank book in which I could write. A pen that never runs dry would be nice to go along with that.

4. One book that made you laugh:
Message in a Bottle, by Nicholas Sparks. Because it was awful, awful! Horrible, cheesy, gag me with a spoon awful! I was reading it because my boyfriend at the time asked me to. (cough, snicker) THAT should have been a huge clue that he and I weren’t meant to be.

5. One book that made you cry:
The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. I cried all the way through the book, for hours straight after I finished the book, and off and on for days after I finished it. I grieved for about three weeks thereafter.

6. One book that you wish had been written:
How to Forget

7. One book that you wish had never been written:
The Rules. That stupid dating book. I haven’t read it, but I’m pretty sure it’s messed things up for us all.

8. One book you’re currently reading:
Moss and Adams’ Heart Disease in Infants, Children, and Adolescents (Including the Fetus and Young Adult). The two volume set. Of course.

9. One book you’ve been meaning to read:
The Holy Bible in its entirety. I confess I haven’t read it all yet.

10. Now tag five people:
Saara
D
Thérèse
KiltedJedi
Puffintoad
