Reading

Book it

A book that changed your life.
“If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat“ by John Ortberg made me want to change my life, but I’m not sure I actually changed anything.

A book you’ve read more than once.
I’m sorry to say I read “Gone With the Wind” about 20 times when I was a teenager.

A book you’d want on a desert island.
A collection of great short stories. Or a survival guide. I’m not very good with the outdoors, so that would be the practical choice.

A book that made you giddy.
I know there have been books that have made me at least very giggly, but I can’t think of any right off hand.

A book you wish had been written.
Rockford needs to use the computer, so I don’t have time to think about this right now.

A book that wracked you with sobs.
“The Lovely Bones.” I couldn’t speak for a few minutes after I finished it.

A book you wish had never been written.
That “Lost” book. I’d prefer the TV show to stand alone.

A book you are currently reading.
I’m between books. I just finished “Might As Well Be Dead.” I’ve been on a Nero Wolfe kick.

A book you’ve been meaning to read.
See the sidebar.

Bandwagons

Friday Feast No. 111

Appetizer
What was the very last song you listened to?

    The “Baby Einstein: Neighborhood Animals” theme song.

Soup
What is one company/store/corporation you would recommend that people stay away from?

    I don’t care for Wal-Mart. If there’s a locally owned alternative, I’d prefer to patronize that. And I’d recommend that others do the same. (writing that made me feel old and crochety.)

Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy having your picture made?

    3. I’m a scrapbooker, though, so I feel obligated to appear in the photos every now and again.

Main Course
Besides a bookmark, what is something you’ve used to keep your place in a book?

    Whatever’s nearby — Kleenex, Post-Its, envelopes. I’m currently using an old jukebox label for “Everybody Needs Love” and “Only the Heart Within You” by Stephen Bishop.

Dessert
Name a food that you like that most people don’t.

    Cookie pudding.
