We had so much fun with the last 20 question e-mail loop, that I thought it might be amusing to answer this Meme on The Paths Taken. Can't wait to see everyone's responses! (you 'two,' Mom and Steve!)
1. ONE BOOK THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE:The Lady of Shallott by Tennyson, the work that opened the world of poetry to me.
2. ONE BOOK THAT YOU'VE READ MORE THAN ONCE:Gosh, if I liked a book as a kid I’d reread it, sometimes seasonal, sometimes instantaneously! Now I am rereading all my favorites with Marianna and seeing them through my daughter’s eyes and it’s fabulously fun!
3. ONE BOOK YOU'D WANT ON A DESERT ISLAND:Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Wyss, handbook and inspiration, all in one.
4. ONE BOOK THAT MADE YOU LAUGH:Neither Here Nor There by Bill Bryson, Never, ever read it on an airplane crossing the Pond!
5. ONE BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY:Jack and Jill by LM Alcott
6. ONE BOOK THAT YOU WISH HAD BEEN WRITTEN: Luddites Afloat
7. ONE BOOK THAT YOU WISH HAD NEVER BEEN WRITTEN:Stove by a Whale by Heffernan – Just the title is horrifying!

Lots of good books there! I constantly think about the Swiss Family Robinson when we're hiking here, especially in the bamboo forests!
