mishadayOne book that changed my life:
DragonSong by Anne McCaffery - it opened up my eyes to possibilities. Could have been Ursula LeGuin, but DragonSong had a prettier cover.
One book that you've read more than once:
Well, shit. The books I *haven't* read more than once make a shorter list. Most reads would probably be the Harper Hall trilogy, but the Belisarius series and the Discworld series are inching up there in repeats.
One book you'd want on a desert island:
If it's not a survival manual, I'd go with the Collected Works of Jane Austen
One book that made you laugh:
Chicks in Chainmail edited by Esther Friesner
One book that made you cry:
Where the Red Fern Grows by... someone. Rawlings? Found it in my pre-teen dog and pony phase, and it never fails to have me in tears at the end. Good tears, though, which is why I read it when I need a good cry.
One book you wish you had written:
There's a fallen paladin in the back of my head, who rides a red stallion and deals death as easily as she used to give life, but she's a reticent sort and I don't think her story will ever be told.
One book you wish had never been written:
These days? The Koran
One book you're currently reading:
Hunters of Dune by Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert
Not nearly as good as the originals which I expected, but I can see the sparks of genius.
One book you've been meaning to read:
Heir of Autumn by Giles Carwyn and Todd Fahnestock - I knew these guys in college, a few years ahead of me, and Mike told me about it when I came out, and it's been sitting in my reading pile...

Ditto, I got the book because Mike told me about it, but have not yet read it. And with my vacation over I may not get to it for a while, I tend not to read much during the semester. Too much reading with grading, blech!
