Jumping On The Book Bandwagon

[gidgettm]

A book that made you cry:  The Dogs of Babel  by Carolyn Parkhurst .  Lots of books make me cry, though, so I just picked the most recent one.

A book that scared you: The Shipping News by E Annie Proulx, not because the book itself is scary, but that it was the first gift Steve gave me, let's just say it wasn't what I would have expected to get 2

Are You There God, It's Me Margaret by Judy Blume

That was my second option.

And I wondered about the favorite book as a child, too, but forgot to add it in to mine. I'd probably have at least five, though.

How come I'm the only person who didn't read East of Eden in high school?

Yeah, I am still pretty big on kid's books.

You probably escaped Mrs.Herr and her Senior English class from hell.

Yeah, she probably just had us read it so we could watch the movie with James Dean. Like when we watched Seven Years in Tibet for no reason whatsoever.

I totally blocked out the random "Seven Years In Tibet" viewing. I have not managed to block out the awful discussion we had while reading Toni Morrison's "Song of Solomon". Shudder.
