Book Meme - From Jack’s Raging Mommy
1) One book that changed your life: I can’t think of a single one that changed my life.
2) One book that you’d read more than once: In general, I hate reading books again, but as a kid I read “Harriet the Spy” over and over again. As an adult, I’ve read “Replay” a couple of times.
3) One book you’d want on a deserted island: “How to Survive on a Deserted Island and Become a Millionaire While Doing So” - clearly authored by no one...yet.
4) One book that made you laugh: All Laurie Notaro books. If you haven’t read her books, do it right now. All of them. Some are better than others, but you won’t regret reading any of them.
5) One book that made you cry: Recently, “Last Days of Summer” by Steve Kluger.
6) One book you wish you’d written: Probably “Last Days of Summer”
7) One book you wish had never been written: Too funny that Jack’s Raging Mommy said “The Da Vinci Code”, when we own a whole message board about Dan Brown’s books. Not because they’re particularly well-written, but they have interesting information ("Angels & Demons” is the best one) and they read like a movie script. Zip zip zip. Anyway, I wish any book written by Ann Coulter had never been written.
8) One book you’re currently reading: “Between the Lines: Not-So-Tall Tales From Ray “Scampy” Scapinello’s Four Decades in the NHL”
9) One book you’ve been meaning to read: Probably most of the “classics” - I may never get around to reading most of them.
10) Tag people: I’m not tagging anyone, but if anyone would like to do the meme, feel free.

Books? What are these strange things called books?

I am currently “reading” about five different books, but haven’t cracked the covers for months. Is it bad that I am the head of my Book Club?

I have to say that I am enjoying reading ‘Love in the Asylum’ by Lisa Carey… It is funny, serious, and a bit twisted… all the things I love about reading books…
I have to say that I am a fan of most biographical/autobiographical/memoir authors… ‘Running with Scissors’ was funny to me… I have to say that I have read a ton of them… ‘Drinking, a love story’, by Caroline Knapp was good as well…
I do not know what I love about reading people’s stories… but I love to read them… Some other good memoirs titles, ‘Bitch’; ‘Prozac Nation’; most titles about depression interest me… I also read a book caleed ‘Group” in which a psychotherapist writes about a group, and the people’s progress in it… I actually would love to get an advanced degree, and be a group therapy counselor…

I loved Running With Scissors. I say a lot I wouldn’t have thought it could be true, if it weren’t for the fact that I know someone who had a similarly f’ed up childhood.
Thanks for doing this Flippy, I love hearing what other people read, and now I have a new author to look up!
