I got tagged over at Heather Goodman's blog to answer some book questions. Below is what I said.

1. One book that changed your life: Under the Unpredictable Plant by Eugene Peterson

2. One book that you’ve read more than once: Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich

3. One book you’d want on a desert island: Desert Island Survival for Dummies, perhaps? The Boy Scout Handbook? If you mean for entertainment, something by Jane Austen. Probably Emma.

4. One book that made you laugh: The Philippian Fragment by Calvin Miller

5. One book that made you cry: Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (though now that I think of it, A Severe Mercy about did me in)

6. One book that you wish had been written: How to Drop 20 Pounds in a Day without Endangering Your Health

7. One book that you wish had never been written: Wild at Heart. Oy. Dominion was given to Adam and his sons? No, sorry, that would be Adam and Eve. Don't get me started. (Follow the links to Benji's blog entry about this book; and a CBMW review that explores its theology.)

8. One book you’re currently reading: Gilead by Marilynne Robinson

9. One book you’ve been meaning to read: Dante, Divine Comedy. (I'll get my chance this fall at UTD.)

10. Now tag five people: I'm gonna make it, three. Kelley, Jacob, and Greta.

How would you have answered?
