Meme for Lack of Any Real Gunning

Jackie, note the lack of high-schoolish snark here lately. Could it be we're turning into surly, repressed adults?

Anyhow--

1. A book that changed your life.
A very wise fridge-magnet once said "In ten years you'll be the same person you are now aside from the books you read and the people you'll meet." So...they're all functioning in the sense that they're chipping away at things in my life and somehow altering even the most prosaic parts of it.
2. A book you've read more than once.
The Scarlet Pimpernel.
3. A book you'd want on a desert island.
My aunt's old 60's hardcore Girl Guide handbook, before Girl Guides restricted themselves to making snowmen out of styrofoam balls to give to people in extended care facilities rather than heading into the woods with a sharp stick, a compass and some pemmican and kicking Mother Nature's ass. This book tells you how to do everything and has some handy camping recipes as well as amusing little adolescent anecdotes involving how to deal with hypothermia.
4. A book that made you giddy.
Northanger Abbey. No idea why. No, wait, I do know why. It begins with an H and ends with an enry Tilney.
5. A book you wish had been written.
...uh...that one where a bunch of nuns went into space. ...It came up today in my stage-writing workshop, okay? Nuns in space. Roman Catholic ones.
6. A book that wracked you with sobs.
Bridge to Terabithia.
7. A book you wish had never been written.
Wings of the Dove just because it was made into such a God-awful movie, I can't bring myself to trust the book, because it was the characters I had problems with, not the direction or the acting. Henry James can suck it.
8. A book you are currently reading.
Perfume by Patrick Suskind
9. A book you've been meaning to read.
Heat and Dust by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. Keep starting it every few years and then I wind up putting it down and forgetting it.
10. Tag 10.
...Is there some kind of Internet voodoo curse I can gamble with, instead?
