Please let us know:

1. One book that changed your life -- The Dagger Affair (Ace Paperback, The Man From UNCLE series, #4, by David McDaniels), because it made me want to write something like it when I read it in 4th grade, and from there I got this silly notion of becoming a writer.
2. One book you have read more than once - Lolita.
3. One book you would want on a desert island - Lolita.
4. One book that made you laugh - Lolita.
5. One book that made you cry - I can't remember a book making me cry. Movies can do that, but not books, for some reason. Perhaps, though, Geronimo Rex by Barry Hannah came close in a couple of parts.
6. One book you wish had been written - On the Road Revisited by Jack Kerouac (a follow up 30 years later to the original in which Kerouac realizes how lame his vision of the American road in the first book was)
7. One book you wish had never had been written - I don't wish this.
8. One book you are currently reading - a couple of things by Bill Bryson
9. One book you have been meaning to read - I have been meaning to re-read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for several months now. It's on my desk.
