Well, I was tagged by Glenda to answer these questions!
(1) One book that changed your life?
It's
really a shame that I can't recall this book. I read it in my small
school's library and unlike any other textbooks, it was breath-taking
and exciting.
As
I remember it, young men were invited to a mysterous place to do some
big-game hunting. After a fancy meal and a good night's sleep, they
were awakened and told that they were going to be the big-game being
hunted. The story then told of their experiences and how they survived.
I don't think it was the book, just the experience of learning that
books don't have to be like textbooks - Reading can be fun! I've been a
friend of books ever since.
(2) One book you have read more than once?
This is a little sad, but the book I read a little bit everyday is "HTML for the World Wide Web by Elizabeth Castro."
(3) One book you would want on a desert island?
This
one is a little funny, I would want "The Complete Cartoons of The New
Yorker". It would be even greater with a CD player to also be able to
look at the 68,647 cartoons ever published in the magazine.
(4) One book that made you laugh?
The Dilbert Principle by Scott Adams
(5) One book that made you cry?
Big boys don't cry, but a book that shattered my belief in technology is "The Day The Phones Stopped" by Leonard Lee.
Human error or computer malfunction? January 15, 1990 nearly half of
AT&T long distance lines around the nation were disabled for almost
nine hours. In 1988 the USS Vincennes accidently shot down an Iranian
airliner killing 290 passengers on board. On Dec 3, 1990, eight people
died when a Northwest DC-9 wandered onto the wrong runway. In 1986, two
cancer patients at a Texas hospital were killed when they accidently
received lethal doses of radiation. And so on...
(6) One book you wish you had written?
That would have to be "The Cuckoo's Egg" by Cliff Stoll
a story of a unbelievable ingenious astronomer who trapped a spy ring,
that was reporting to the KGB, and had been hacking US missile bases
and satellites, using a simple teletype connected to his lab's
computer.
(7) One book you wish had never been written?
I'm not one to censor books, but I would have to say Mein Kampf by Adolph Hilter
(8) One book you are currently reading?
I have a few started, but Fiasco by Thomas Hicks the American Military Adventure in Iraq is first in line.
(9) One book you've been meaning to read?
The Pretext For War by James Bamford a fearless account of the failures of America's intellengence agencies and the Bush's Administration's calculated efforts to sell a war to the American people.
(10) And tag five bloggers to do this, too.
I won't tag any bloggers to do this, but I invite all readers to give it a try
That's my list! Not a beauty contest, just books - I like that.
