There were two surveys on this particular entry, but I have a short attention span, and I didn’t like the way the first one was worded, so I’m skipping.

1. One book that changed your life?
Alice in Wonderland because that’s the book, along with The Wizard of Oz that started me on my path to reading fantasy.

2. One book you have read more than once?
A Wrinkle in Time by L’Engle.
3. One book you would want on a desert island?
Probably A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin.
4. One book that made you laugh?
Big Trouble by Dave Barry.
5. One book that made you cry?
Books rarely make me cry. But there might have been tears at the end of Perfect by Judith McNaut, which really means I’m an incurable saphead.
6. One book you wish had been written?
Something like Anne McCaffrey’s Freedom books, about modern humans being enslaved by aliens, only, well, not written by McCaffrey. I’m sure sudch a book exists, and you can feel free to recommend me titles in the comments.
7. One book you wish had never been written?
I forget the author, thank Jeebus, but there was a book called The Boss’s Christmas Seduction that I yoinked an etext of off of Usenet. It was bad. Very, very bad.
8. One book you are currently reading?
Besides The Stand I’m reading Cordelia’s Honor by Bujold.
9. One book you have been meaning to read?
Actually, the Vorkosigan books have been on my “I should really read this” list for quite a while. I intend to dive in after I finish The Stand and see if all the people on my flist who’ve ever clamored for me to read those books are in fact, correct. I suspect, of course, that y’all are.
