This one comes via Chris of Even the Devils Believe:

1. One book that changed your life: Miracles, C.S. Lewis – made me question a lot of my assumptions and take Christianity seriously as something to be reckoned with intellectually.

2. One book that you’ve read more than once: Cash: The Autobiography, Johnny Cash

3. One book you’d want on a desert island: This is a trick question, right? I’m supposed to say the Bible. Ok – the Bible.

4. One book that made you laugh: Code of the Woosters, P.G. Wodehouse

5. One book that made you cry: Confession, Tolstoy

6. One book that you wish had been written: The Autobiography of St. Peter

7. One book that you wish had never been written: Mein Kampf. Or is that too obvious?

8. One book you’re currently reading: On War and Morality, Robert L. Holmes

9. One book you’ve been meaning to read: Crime and Punishment. I love Dostoevsky, and have started this one a couple of times, but I just haven’t been in the right frame of mind to get through it.

10. Now tag five people: Anyone who wants to play – go for it.
