- One book that changed your life: What's So Amazing About Grace? - Philip YanceyThis book has done more than any other to bring into sharp focus what grace is, and how we are mostly ungrateful wretches living under infinite grace.
- One book that you’ve read more than once: Not A Penny More, Not a Penny Less - Jeffrey Archer
Inspite of being an ex-con, Jeffrey Archer remains one of my favorite authors. - One book you’d want on a desert island: Cryptonomicon - Neal Stephenson
At 1,168 pages it's a science fiction book I abandoned a few years ago (it's a fairly difficult read). If I had all the time in the world, maybe I'd be able to finish it. By the way, the bible is not an eligible book to have on the island. - One book that made you laugh: Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation - Lynne Truss
Ahhhh... this book is hilarious for all those who try to write well. - One book that made you cry [or feel really sad]: Why a Daughter Needs a Dad: A Hundred Reasons - Gregory E. Lang
This was the hardest one. I don't really read autobiographies, and non-fiction all that much. So I had to throw in something here. I was reading this book at Borders during one of the weekends when I was out with Priya on one of our "dates." The emotional part was realizing all these effects that I can have on my daughter's life, and wondering how I was gonna do it. - One book that you wish had been written: The seventh Harry PotterWhat can I say... I am completely enthralled by the series. Well, the good news is that my wish will come true some day!
- One book that you wish had never been written: The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
Can we say booooooring. Even the title screams bad English. If you want action, check out Angels and Demons. - One book you’re currently reading: The Book of The Dead - Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
Just finished it actually. This is the third and final in the series featuring Aloysius Pendergast. I haven't picked up a new one since. - One book you’ve been meaning to read: The Pursuit of Holiness - Jerry Bridges
The title says it all. - Now tag five people:
Ok this is the easy part. I tag TS, David, Christy, Michelle, and Elizabeth (at first I had more than needed, but then I thought I should leave some for other people to tag. So it's back to 5).
Even I never quite know what's going on inside my head.. Maybe reading this will help me as much as it entertains you... :-)

One Book Meme
So I have been tagged by Susanna with the One Book Meme. For all you illiterates out there, here is Wiki's explanation of a meme (hehe... don't worry... I had to look it up too!). Anyway, as I was reading through her list, I was thinking to myself - Gosh, I read soooo many books, but I hardly remember any of them. Guess what? Down at the bottom, I find my name. So here goes:

Oh man, why does the word meme have to be linked to Dawkins and Darwin! I don't like the word any more! (goes away and sulks). Thanks for playing!
thanks for the tag ... and it's cool to read your books and thoughts on them ...
I bought Philip Yancey's "What's So Amazing About Grace?" Although it's written for the unwashed masses, I can see already that there are some deep thoughts included. I especially appreciate he's using the letter to the Romans as an outline.
Also, I noticed you added some third-party code to your new Beta blog template. Did you have to create new "ClustrMap" and "MapStats" widgets for the third-party code? I'm trying to get my Flickr badge to work on my Beta blog template.
