Books Define My Life
*A favourite quote from a poster in our yr 9 library:
The more you read, the more you know
The more you know, the smarter you grow
The smarter you grow, the louder your voice
When speaking your mind, or making a choice
*N tagged bookmarked me a while ago at my request, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
*A book that made you laugh: The Messenger, by Marcus Zusak.
*A book that made you cry: My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult
*A book that scared you: Well, Stephen King probably would.
*A book that disgusteds you: The Ethics of What We Eat, by Peter Singer and Jim Mason; disgusting doesn't even begin to cover how we treat the animals we breed and eat. If you care about animals and/or rights, read this book, but I warn you; it will put you off your food.
*A book you loved in elementary school: Nim's Island, by Wendy Orr. The Faraway Tree, Enid Blyton.
*A book you loved in middle/junior high school: Jinx, Margaret Wild
*A book you loved in high school: Remote Man, Elizabeth Honey; Inkheart, Cornelia Funke.
*A book you loved in college: The Time Traveler's Wife, Audrey Niffenegger (it's being made into a movie, which should be interesting; I love Rachel McAdams, so I'm looking forward to it!)
*A book that challenged your identity: To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee
*A series that you love: Harry Potter. Gossip Girl.
*Your favourite horror book: The Great Automatic Grammatizator by Roald Dahl (if that could be considered vaguely horror. I don't usually touch horror with a ten foot pole.)
*Your favourite science fiction book: Uglies, Scott Westerfeld
*Your favourite fantasy book: Twilight (the series), Stephanie Meyer.
*Your favourite mystery book: Anything in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, Alexander McCall Smith or Phryne Fisher series, by Kerry Greenwood
*Your favourite (auto)biography: But Enough About Me, Jancee Dunn
*Your favourite “coming of age” book: Seven Little Australians, Ethel Turner
*Your favourite classic: The Catcher in the Rye, J.D Salinger.
*Your favourite romantic novel: The Winter Rose, Jennifer Donnelly.
*My favourite book (non-fiction): An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore
*My favourite short story(ies): The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber, Ernest Hemingway. The Cask of Amontillado, Edgar Allen Poe.
*I tag: Gemini, T Y, M, Celise (and anyone else who wants to)
