The Book Meme

One book that changed your life

There are many books that I can say have changed my life, too many to count, but the award goes to in this moment of time to Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. Why? Now because of that book I’ve developed a love for autobiographies and biographies, especially the ones on China and Japan and other interesting regions culturally. (No I hate the celebrity ones.)

One book that you’ve read more than once

Well already mentioned Memoirs of a Geisha..so can’t do that again. Guess Lady Penelope by Lena Kennedy. Though all my books are in a battle for that. Lady Penelope has been read so much that the spine had to be retaped back up and the pages are worn and battered. A very well loved novel.

One book you’d want on a desert island

How to make food out of plants found on a desert island…well I could do without the company of people for a while. People are complicated creatures.

One book that made you laugh

Amy’s Honeymoon by Julia Lleweylln. Oh boy…too funny that you couldn’t put it down. Word of warning: A chick book.

One book that made you cry

Winner is: High Lord by Trudi Canavan

The ending! The ending!!!

One book that you wish had been written

How Ash tried to rule the world…and failed (all in the space of an hour). Would be absolutely hilarious read.

One book that you wish had never been written

Pick any autobiography/biography of any celebrity (ie: David Beckham, Jordan….)

One books you’re currently reading

The Cartoon guide to Chemistry.

Two books you’ve been meaning to read

The Judge and Jury - James Patterson (Brough two years ago from a bookstore, still haven’t read it.)

The Drowning people - Richard Manson (Brought three or four years ago from an author signing thing and still have yet to read it.)

    I thought the answer to “books that made you cry” would be something like The Birth of Venus or Love Story. Clearly not.
