Original List provided from the Burnside Writers Collective blog
One book that changed my life: "The Poisonwood Bible" Barbara Kingsolver...maybe the first "real" book I'd ever read. Also, changed my perception of Christianity and Missionary's completely as it was my first real insight to Missimperialism...the spreading of western ideas through the use of misguided missionaries.
One book that I've read more than once: "Prayer and the Art of Volkswagen Maintenance" Donald Miller...This was the right book at the right time and a refresher is due every year or so.
One book that I'd want on a desert island: "The Harry Potter Series" J.K. Rowling...I know it's a set, but it'd keep me busy for a while.
One book that made me laugh: "A Walk in the Woods" Bill Bryson
One book that made me cry: I'm not sure a book ever has.
One book that scared the hell out of me: "The Screwtape Letters" C.S. Lewis...man demons are a bugger.
One book I wish had been written: "Left Behind Series from a Post Tribulation Raputurist's perspective" Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins... because really how sweet would another 16 books be :-(
One book I wish had never been written: "Anything after the first three Left Behind books" Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins
Two books I'm currently reading: "The Windup Bird Chronicles" Haruki Murakami. "Fast Food Nation" Eric Schlosser

The Poisonwood Bible changed my life too! After reading that book everything (religion) was different for me.
I was actually just thinking about that book a couple of days ago...I was thinking I need to go buy it as I had borrowed it when I read it.
I also agree with the Left Behind books-----blak!
I'm enjoying your blog.
:)
