I’ve been tagged by Danny and St. Peter’s Helpers, so here goes…

1. One book that changed your life:
The Catechism of the Catholic Church- It acquainted me with the beauty and fullness of the Catholic Faith at a time when all I could see was the sparseness and minimalisim of my Protestant community.

2. One book that you’ve read more than once:
Most of the The Chronicles of Narnia

3. One book you’d want on a desert island:
This is close…either the Bible or the 4 volume Liturgy of the Hours

4. One book that made you laugh:
Uncle John’s Gigantic Bathroom Reader

5. One book that made you cry:
Bridge to Terabithia-at least it may have. I was young.

6. One book that you wish had been written:
Why I Am Still Catholic: Essays in Praise of Communion with Rome ed. by Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Calvin

7. One book that you wish had never been written:
The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan- just to clarify, I’m not against basic feminism. However, I wish feminism would’ve developed out of a Christian or Catholic context, rather than a radically secular one.

8. One book you’re currently reading:

I like this: "one" book you’re currently reading. I’m reading several but will choose Conscience, Consensus, and the Development of Doctrine by Ven. J.H. Cardinal Newman

9. One book you’ve been meaning to read:
This is a tough one…I’ve always wanted to read Theology of the Body: Human Love in the Divine Plan by the late holy father, John Paul II. I own it, but have never been able to sit down and read it.

I’m not really much for tagging, but if you want to do this, consider yourself tagged by me. However, I am curious what Argent, Publius, and Chad think. This is only a formal tag if you wish!
