An Illiterate Librarian Plays Tag
Well, I have been tagged by Heather over at Street Acrobatics, in a game which will illustrate just how much of an illterate librarian/almost-english-major I actually am.
Here we go. If you are tagged at the end, please join the chain and play along, if you like that is:
1. One book that changed your life:
*The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass It made it OK to breathe, amidst spastic fits of laughter. A great book to read out loud.
*Perelandra which made me pay attention to Lewis. It makes the holiness and innocence of Pre-Fall life seem not boring, but Life itself.
2. One book that you’ve read more than once:
*Lewis' books.
*Tolkien's books.
3. One book you’d want on a desert island:
The Lord of the Rings
4. One book that made you laugh:
The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass
5. One book that made you cry:
Only one?
*The Lord of the Rings
*Anne of Green Gables
*A Severe Mercy,
*The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass
These all made me cry from being overwhelmed by Goodness, in some cases by Mercy too.
6. One book that you wish had been written:
The Perfect Love that Casts Out Fear or just Perfect Love
7. One book that you wish had never been written:
*The Da Vinci Code
*The Left Behind series
8. One book you’re currently reading:
The Children of Men by mystery writer P.D. James, though it is not a mystery per se. I am re-reading this to remember why I liked it in the first place, though I know it is life affirming in a very Christian sense. Movie, which may or may not be good, in the Autumn.
9. One book you’ve been meaning to read:
The Silence of Adam I need to re-read it and this time actually read the kick-your-butt final chapters.
10. Now tag five people:
*Jesse-this is a sneaky way to get another blog entry from Bacon's Great
*Lloyd- Ditto
*Kirk
*Sarah
*Meg

Cool-lee-oh! I'm SO excited to check out "The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass".
P.S. I hope your cough has subsided!

A very important note!--If you are an anglophile you should get The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass Aged 37 1/2 and not The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass Aged 37 3/4. The latter is the American version, which substitutes football for cricket. I should note that some of the humor in the British version refers to British religious leaders of the 80's and so is inaccessible somewhat, but that is only a minor part of the book.

I'll have to think on this one. Now, when I respond am I suppose to make it a blog entry on my blog or on the blog of the person that tagged me? Yikes! I'm getting behind I still have yet to answer the last tag thing-a-muh-jig about books!
I was always really bad at "tag" in grade school. The "you're it!" set me into a frenzy of panic...

Heidi, I think you are to make it a blog entry on your own. That allows you to tag people who read your blog.
