A Book Meme!

Got this one from a blog, post with the e.g lah...

1. What author do you own the most books by?

C.S. Lewis, William Faulkner, Shakespeare, and Dr. Seuss. (Now there's a group I'd like to put together in a room -- what would they create? A sing-songy, nonsensical, incomprehensible, lyrical, heart-probing and classical defense of Christianity....)

2. What book do you own the most copies of?
I think it's the Bible. Or Shakespeare. Or a Harry Potter book (I blame the children for that one.)

3. Did it bother you that both those questions ended with prepositions?
It is something of which I had not thought.

4. What fictional character are you secretly in love with?
It's no secret that I adore Atticus Finch and hope to spend the rest of my life with him.

5. What book have you read the most times in your life?
Actually, it's probably a little paperback called My Name is Elmo.

6. Favorite book as a ten year old? Nothing startlingly classic --
I didn't even read some of the most wonderful stuff until I was an adult, such as Anne of Green Gables. No, my favorite was something from the Daytona Beach, Florida library. We lived by the ocean for a year when I was ten, while my father was stationed in Korea, and I read and reread a book about a woman who had twenty or thirty cats, one of them named Felicity. I vowed I would one day name a child (or a cat) of mine Felicity.

7. What is the worst book you’ve read in the past year?
The worst half of a book I read was Twilight. I do not care for the "alluring bad boy" theme with which it drips.

8. What is the best book you’ve read in the past year?
Ginger Pye with the kids. For me: Malcolm Gladwell's Blink and his Outliers, and Charles Shields' Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee. And my reread of To Kill a Mockingbird. So fun to share it with Anne.

9. If you could force everyone you know to read one book, what would it be?
To Kill a Mockingbird. But they can't have Atticus. He's mine.

10. What book would you most like to see made into a movie?
They already did it. To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the closest thing I've seen to a beautiful translation to screen.

11. What is the most difficult book you’ve ever read?
I'm sure it was something by William Faulkner, and I blame him. And alcohol. His, not mine.

12. What is your favorite book?
I can never choose just one! Don't torture me with sadistic mind games! (And that is a stolen quote from, not a book, but an episode of a Bob Newhart show.)

Doesn't "my favorite book" depend on one's mood? One's season in life? The season of the year? I love different books in different moments. Don't you? Who created this meme, anyway? Is this a psychological test?

Now, I'm not saying that love depends on a mood (don't get me started) but to choose a favorite book is akin to choosing a favorite child. And, I'm not saying that I have different favorite children on different days, depending on my mood. Anne, Betsy, Ramona, you know that, correct? I would hate to have a little blog meme inflict some deep and lasting psychological damage on my children. But, I digress.

Loads of favorite books that everyone should read at some time or another:

To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, Fr. Elijah, The Fire Within, Mere Christianity, The Secret Garden, Anne of Green Gables, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Abandonment to Divine Providence, My Antonia, all the Martha and Charlotte books, everything about Beezus and Ramona, Little Women, Brave New World, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, Miss Rumphius, Dandelion Wine.

And that's just one mood.

13. What is your favorite play?
The first play I ever fell in love with (via reading) was Romeo and Juliet, so of course it still holds a place of privilege. And sniffles.

14. Poem?
Too many to name. See all those Poetry Friday posts.

15. Essay?
Every one that C.S. Lewis wrote, and Annie Dillard's "God in the Doorway" (which I would probably never have found if not for my friend, Jack.)

16. Who is the most overrated writer alive today?
I'm gonna have to say Stephanie Meyer. I just don't get it. Well, I do get it, but I don't care for it.

17. What is your desert island book?
In this book meme from awhile back, I said I wanted something with practical tips and hut organizing strategies.

18. And . . . what are you reading right now?
I just finished the reread of Fr. Elijah (which falls for me under "spiritual reading" much more strongly than under "fiction" ... such a beautiful book) that I began on Mother's Day; I'm reading Fruitless Fall, by Rowan Jacobsen, and The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. Also, Mother Teresa's Secret Fire, by Jospeh Langford. And, I'm reading The Silver Chair aloud to the kids.

from another blog...

Book Meme

That entertaining and learned blogger Litlove, over on Tales from the Reading Room, shares my love of the occasional meme. She posted this one the other day and I couldn't help myself. Here are my answers. If you fancy doing it yourself, please do.

The book that’s been on your shelves the longest.

I have got one book that I have had since I was a child. It is an early twentieth-century story collection called Greek Myths and Legends, and it has an inscription inside saying it was won as a school prize by my mother's older brother Norman in 1912. This is especially poignant as Norman was sent soon afterwards to Dartmouth Naval College, and when the First World War broke out he and his fellow pupils were called up as midshipmen. But he never saw the war as he and many of the rest of the crew died in a tragic accident -- a explosion -- while the ship was still in port.


A book that reminds you of something specific in your life (a person, a place, a time).

This has to be my ancient and battered edition of Wordsworth's verse autobiography The Prelude, because it reminds me of the time when, as a final year student, I took this book on a train journey. The train broke down and stayed stranded for a long time, during which, with nothing else to do to pass the time, I started to really study the text of this poem in a very detailed way. This not only resulted in my finding a subject for my undergraduate dissertation but also formed the basis of a later M.Phil thesis.

A book you acquired in some interesting way.

That would be my first edition (1922) of Katherine Mansfield's The Garden Party. When I was in France a few years ago I went to a 'vide grenier' (attic sale) in a nearby village. There were loads of tables and stalls and also a few people just sitting on the ground with some bits and pieces spread out on a blanket. One such was a young French girl who had a small pile of books which, when I looked at them, turned out to be in English. She was selling them for 10 francs (£1) each, so I bought them all, the Mansfield among them. I had no idea it was a first ed. till later, but it is, completely genuine and not in bad condition, so worth several hundred pounds if I cared to sell it, which I don't.

The book that’s been with you to the most places.

This is hard. I suppose anything I've had since I was a student will have been in two different houses in London, two different houses in Oxford, and two different houses in Lancashire where I now live, and several probably on holiday with me as well. Let's go for Bleak House, which I certainly remember carting around with me a lot.



The most recent addition to your shelves.

That's Margery Allingham's classic crime novel Hide my Eyes, which arrived a couple of days ago via Bookmooch.

Your current read, your last read and the book you’ll read next.

I'm just finishing Henning Mankell's first Wallander novel, Faceless Killers. Before that I read Penelope Lively's Moon Tiger. I think my next read might be Olivia Manning's The Doves of Venus, bought in a charity shop last week.

last but not least...

99 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – Roald Dahl
100 Les Miserables – Victor Hugo

Total: 50

This is obviously a “pretentious fiction” list, but there are some puzzling omissions. Where’s Salman Rushdie’s “Santanic Verses”, for example? And I’d be curious to do the same thing for non-fiction. “A Brief History of Time”. Bill Clinton’s autobiography. “Civilization”. That kind of thing….

...several of the answers from the above blogs are either quite funny @ worthy to be shared...

I got this Book Meme from Sorrow at Sills Bend’s site. I’ve never done a book meme before, but hey you only live once so I thought I’d give this meme thing a try:

  1.
What was the last book you bought?
  That’seasy. Just came back from a bookstore and bought Nora Roberts’s ThePagan Stone, the final installation for The Sign of Seven Trilogy. Havebeen waiting for this book for almost six months and finally it arrivedin Malaysia. Can’t wait to start reading it!

  2.
Name a book that you’ve read more than once:
  I’venever read a book more than once. I want to read as many books as I canand I don’t waste time reading a book over and over again, no matterhow much I love it.

  3.
Has a book ever fundamentally changed the way you see life? If yes, what was it?
  Quitea few but the latest one is The Last Lecture from Randy Paush. I admirehis positive attitude and the way he faces his greatest challenge fromcancer. I love his philosophy in life and have adopted it as my own. Toquote Randy, he says that “We cannot change the cards we are dealt,just how we play the hand”. The book changed my outlook in life.


  4.
How do you choose a book? E.g. by cover design and summary, recommendations or reviews?
  I’m a sucker for great covers that’s how I got my hands on The Gargoyle. But usually I read reviews on other book review blogs or Amazon and get recommendations from friends.

  5.
Do you prefer fiction or non- fiction?
  I read fiction mostly and some of the non-fiction books that I tend to read are on self-help and motivation.


  6.
What’s more important in a novel- beautiful writing or gripping plot?
  Grippingplot! I don’t get easily annoyed by bad writing cause I wouldn’t beable to tell whether it’s good or bad anyway *lol*.


  7.
Most loved/memorable character?
  Edward Cullen from the Twilight Saga, if only such a man existed...sigh.....

  8.
Which book or books can be found at your nightstand at the moment?
  AFar Country by Daniel Mason. I use to have ten bazillion books by mybed but it got really messy so I've made it a point to keep all mybooks in my study bedroom instead.

  9.
What was the last book you read?
  Tales of Beedle the Bard from J.K Rowling.


  10.
Have you ever given up a book halfway?
  I’m embarrassed to admit this but YES. I can’t stand books that develop in turtle pace speed. If it makes me yawn, out it goes!

  I’m not tagging anyone for this book meme. I’m only doing this because I’m suffering from bloggers block heh heh..
.
Anyway, if you’re interested to participate just list your link or your answers on the comments section below.

Tag: Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

Carrie from Books and Movies tagged me for the "I Have Been Lazy, Hence I Make Excuses" meme, in which we are to list the excuses we give ourselves when we haven’t made time to read, in spite of the towering stacks of to-be-read books. Be sure to click on through and see Carrie's excuses.

This is hard for me because my life generally goes the other way -- I always have time for reading but never have time for anything else. But here goes:

1. It's January, I really should put away those Halloween decorations.
2. I just heard TweetDeck beep; I don't want miss any vital news.
3. I need to go to the store; for some odd reason Mr. BFR thinks there should be food in the house.

If you want to play along, consider yourself tagged!
