Words clawing at the inside of my head
straining to get out, to be said
Words that don't make any sense to me
words, twisting and turning, trying to be

Why can't I say them, why can't I see?

Book tagged!

What goes around comes around, and all that jazz....I-sa been tagged by the Axe, so here goes:

1. Book that changed your life:
Richard Bach's Illusions and, funnily enough, the Merchant of Venice. I could not help but feel sorry for Shylock, and that started me thinking...perceptions, and prejudice, are sneaky little things! However, I must say that almost every book I have read (with very few exceptions) has had something to make me think. So, kinda hard to list them all :o)

2. Book you've read more than once: That would be just about every book I own...but I think the ones I cannot HELP re-reading are the
Wodehouses and Pratchetts. Life is too short not to fill it with laughter!

3. Book you'd take to a desert island: Richard Bach's "Stranger to the Ground"....if I believe hard enough, I will actually fly (hey, if believing worked for Tink, it works for me!)

4. Book that made you laugh: ANYthing by
Terry Pratchett...if you haven't read one, yet, you haven't lived.

5. Book that made you cry: Don't really remember crying for a book....movies, yes, books, no...

6. Book you wish you had written: Once again, too many to list...am not even going to try!

7. Book you wish had never been written: Robert Jordan's
Wheel of Time (Book 1)...after all, that is where all the mischief started! 10 books down (or is it 11?!) the story is still going on and I have lost track of people, times and places... :o(

8. Book you are currently reading: Pyramids by Pratchett,
No Full Stops in India by Mark Tully

9. Book you have been meaning to read: Les Miserables...bought the book and just keep staring at it, and then passing it by...it will take some serious offtime, loads of cinnamon-topped frothy coffee and a table by a window, on a rainy day, for me to actually start.

10. Tagging: Do I have to?! Really? Truly?
