The Dowager Viscountess at White Trash Republican tagged me with this. Since I’m in a good mood due to the Ecosystem getting its fiftieth member I’ll give it a try.
One book that changed your life:
“Time Enough for Love” by Robert A Heinlein
One book that you've read more than once:
“A Free Man of Color” by Barbara Hambley, I’ve read all of her “Benjamin January” novels, the first three more than once.
One book that you would want on a desert island:
“How to Build a Boat out of Things Found on a Desert Island With The Principles of Sea Navigation”
One book that made you laugh:
"A Confederacy of Dunces” by John Kennedy Toole, this is the most truly funny book that I have ever read.
One book that made you cry:
“The Gulag Archipelago” by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, the account of the inmate’s revolt at the Kenger slave labor camp was heartbreaking.
One book you wish had been written:
“The Fifth Crusade: How Christian Europe Finally United to Eradicate Islam”
One book you wish had never been written:
“Silent Spring” by Rachel Carson, this book got DDT banned and condemned millions of people to death.
One book you are currently reading:
"The Mechanism of Catastrophe: The Turkish Pogrom of September 6-7 1955, and the Destruction of the Greek Community of Istanbul” by Speros Vryonis, Jr, as part of my research into Islam.
One book you have been meaning to read:
“The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” by Edward Gibbon, I have the first three volumes and will start on them as soon as I get time.
I don’t know anyone else well enough to tag them (except the people who have already been tagged by others) so I won’t.
