Kevin Wilson at Blue Cord has just tagged me, and this ain’t no game in the school playground–it’s a meme.  Like Kevin, I’ve never been tagged before, but now that I have I can say this this ranks right up there near the time I addressed the Nobel Society as I accepted my Nobel Prize for ancient Near East blogging from Cincinnati.  So, here goes:

1. One book that changed your life.

(I will exempt the Bible from my answers) Triumph of the Optimists by Dimson, Marsh, and Staunton and Practial Speculation by Victor Niederhoffer and Laurel Kenner.

2. One book that you have read more than once.
Redwall.

3. One book you would want on a desert island.

Sorry to break my rule, but I have to say the Bible.

4. One book that made you laugh.

Anything by Gary Larson.

5. One book that made you cry.

I’ve cried from movies but not books.

6. One book that you wish had been written.

How to Have World Peace in Three Easy Steps.

7. One book that you wish had never been written.

Left Behind series.

8. One book you are currently reading.

I must have a thing with frenchman right now: From Cyrus to Alexander by Pierre Briant (translated into English by Peter Daniels) and Hammu-rabi de Babylone by Dominique Charpin.

9. One book you’ve been meaning to read.
The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose of John Donne published by Modern Library.

10. Tag five other people.

I tag Jared Bridges, Colby Willen, Scott Slayton, James Spinti, and Jim West (sorry guys, I just had to do it).
