biblio - graphy

Paul's playing tag and i have to answer a ::meme:: - i've looked this term up on wikipedia and found two defs and i still don't understand what that means.

i'm gonna keep updating this post as i think what to put in. and yep, i just know the rules are gonna be broken.

oh, and Paul - red rover: wrists are burning at the memory...

::

One book that changed your life:
Generation X: Tales from an Accelerated Culture - Douglas Coupland
where evangelical christianity would fail, coupland would triumph. X became the most important letter in my alphabet. vancouver joined seattle as the font of all cultural significance. i probably consider this the most important book in my life story... it launched my adulthood i guess. i prefer life after god and girlfriend in a coma but this is ground Xero. i got me an i.d. tag in these pages...

One book that you have read more than once:
TBC

One book you'd want on a desert island:
i hate this question...one book? i'm not gonna say the bible or the works of shakespeare. too many variables... i'll assume i'm gonna be on my own and thus a strong contender is delta of venus by anias nin. (raises right eyebrow in a femme fatale manner)

or, my favourite children's book, in powder and crinoline, which alas i think got lost in a move somewhere and which is probably the book i most covet but would cost me a small fortune to replace. the reason is the kay nielsen lithographs, which i used to spend hours pouring over...



will most regret not taking the idiots guide to surviving on a desert island by man friday.

One book that made you laugh:
TBC

One book that made me cry:
the blind assassin by margaret atwood. immediately after i finished it. in public.
special mention goes to chapter 2 of the artist way by julia cameron which made me sob uncontrollably. and i mean uncontrollably.

One book that you wish had been written:
TBC

One book you wish had never been written:
mein kampf?
the atomic bomb instruction manual?

One book that you're currently reading:
jPod - Coupland
eleven minutes - paulo cuelho
vein of gold - julia cameron
about to start, i know why the caged bird sings - maya angelou

One book you've been meaning to read:
God. where to begin...

LB,x
