another tag

I've been tagged by Pauline, so I thought I would do this before getting around to posting pictures.

One book...

that is changing your life: the Bible

that you've read more than once: (too many to choose from; the following are ones I've read more than twice) Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen; Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte; Tess of the D'Urbervilles, by Thomas Hardy (I think I've reread this novel more than any other, like at least five times); all of the novels for my dissertation

that you'd want on a deserted island: hmm, this is a hard one...can't think of what I would want to read in such a situation; maybe all the Doctor Dolittle books?

that made you laugh: Me Talk Pretty One Day, by David Sedaris

that made you cry: (again, too many to choose from; I cry pretty easily) Dombey and Son, by Charles Dickens; Uncle Tom's Cabin, by Harriet Beecher Stowe

that you wish you had written: Blink, by Malcolm Gladbury

that you wish had never been written: the only Danielle Steele novel I've ever read, Jewels

that you're currently reading: The Radetzky March, by Joseph Roth

that you've been meaning to read: The Magic Mountain, by Thomas Mann

that you haven't been able to get through no matter how many times you've started it: (almost all of my theory books can fall into this category) Theory of the Novel, by Georg Lukacs
