Ben's "One Book" meme
Here is my response to the One Book meme that originated here
I haven't managed the one book limit. This may be typically contrary or merely ill-disciplined.
1. One book that changed your life:
Ross Campbell ( ), How to really love your children
Grahame Greene (1940), The Power and the Glory
2. One book that you’ve read more than once:
Charlotte Bronte (1847), Jane Eyre
J. R. R. Tolkien ( ), Leaf by Niggle
3. One book you’d want on a desert island:
Bible
Collected works of T. S Eliot
4. One book that made you laugh:
The prefaces to G. B. Shaw's plays
Margaret Atwood (1983), Murder in the Dark
5. One book that made you cry:
Richard Trudgen (2000), Why warriors lie down and die
Chaim Potok ( ), My Name is Asher Lev
6. One book that you wish had been written:
Personalised instruction manual for our son and heir (and also one for spouse)
Books need to be produced faster - all my favourite authors need write more quickly.
7. One book that you wish had never been written:
It's tempting to say The purpose driven life but it isn't really the BOOK that I have a problem with. I find most sagas irritating but I'm still glad they are written - I just want more short stories!
8. One book you’re currently reading:
Bunge (2001), The child in Christian thought
Mem Fox (2000), Harriet, you'll drive me wild
9. One book you’ve been meaning to read:
Levin & Pappaport Hovav (2005), Argument Realization
May, Posterski et al (2005), Children matter - Celebrating their place in the church, family, and community
10. Now tag five people:
Ebenezer, Yellek, Katricks, Stinker & Dangersheep (you'll notice I didn't double the instructions for this one)

Did you mean to link here? My response to follow...
Yes eb - hopefully I've fixed it now
Amazing how far that little meme has spread. Within days there were literally thousands who had posed on it.
My list here.
you hate so much about The Purpose Driven Life? Our whole church did it a couple of years ago and I thought that it was great at the time.
hmm. do we have a purpose-driven God? or does he sometimes do things just for the heck of it?
Love that TS Eliot is on your list. Way to go!
