I've Been Tagged!

Genia's tagged me. I had to think a bit about some of the answers, and I still have to think long and hard about a couple of questions.

1. One book that changed your life: Step-by-Step Knitting by Mary Walker Phillips, printed in 1967 and evidently bought at Toys 'r Us - there's a sticker that is still on the the front cover and price is $1.97, obviously discounted from the printed price of $2.50. This is the first knitting book I ever had as a child and I tried to teach myself from the book. But I just couldn't figure out the next step after casting on and knitting the first row, as what I had didn't look like the drawn illustrations. Doh . . . these are illustrations! If I'd had someone around who knew knitting, I think I would have been able to get over this hump much earlier.

2. One book that you've read more than once: I Heard the Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Web Application Construction Kit, by Ben Forta, affectionately known in the CF community as CFWACK

3. One book you'd want on a desert island: Law of God, by Archpriest Seraphim Slobodskoy

4. One book that made you laugh: Umm . . . I'll have to think about this. There are so many books that have made me laugh in the past.

5. One book that made you cry: Angela's Ashes: See my answer to number 5.

6. One book that you wish had been written: How Not to Make Stupid Mistakes in your Twenties That Can Have Lifelong Consequences

7. One book you wish had never been written: Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler (ditto!)

8. One book you're currently reading: a romance novel (okay . . . several! good for a hour's read from cover to cover and a good pickup since the endings always come out good for everyone)

9. One book you've been meaning to read: Black in the White House by Ron Christie

10. Tag 6 people: Consider yourself tagged!
