My fellow book club buddy, Candace, tagged me with this fun meme!

1) One book that changed your life:
Das Energi by Paul Williams. I was given this book as a gift when I was 15. I opened it up and couldn’t seem to put it down for five years! I highlighted, dog-earred and underlined the crap outta this book as it opened my mind to the true nature of my personal spirituality. It spoke to me the way the Bible or the Koran probably speak to others. On a mystical and yet-unnamed level of consciousness. It didn’t just open my mind, it blew the doors off completely!
“Sooner or later a person begins to notice…”

2) One book that you’d read more than once:
A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. This was my introduction to Irving novels and will always be my favorite. I can always find new meaning to the symbolism in this book!

3) One book you’d want on a deserted island:
The book mentioned in #1.

4) One book that made you laugh:
The book mentioned in #2.

5) One book that made you cry:
My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult. The ending took me completely by surprise and made me bawl my head off. Such a tragedy.

6) One book you wish you’d written:
A Book of Shadows! It takes far more discipline and commitment than I can muster to create my very own Book of Shadows!

7) One book you wish had never been written:
A Million Little Pieces by James Frey (supposedly). What a farce. Great story. But what a snake he was to lie about it all being an honest memoir. Bah.

8) One book you’re currently reading:
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon I had a profound dream the other night that revolved around a fantastical plot. So I figured that was my subconscious requesting a good fantasy book to read. After researching the internet and my fellow blog-readers’ sites, I settled on this series. Not sure what I think of it yet. It’s keeping my interest but getting quite complex.

9) One book you’ve been meaning to read:
Watership Down by Richard Adams. It’s on my shelf and ready to go but I can’t bear to read about little bunnies dying. How sad.

10) Tag five people:
Okay, if you want to do it, I tag: Evil Mommy, Pocketchange, Turtleheart, Writer-Girl and Shylah.

Could somebody please come to my house and carve these pumpkins for me?
