ill bite on this one, Julie Carter In your status, list 10 books that have stayed with you in some way. Do not take more than a few minutes and do not think too hard. They do not have to be the right books or great works of literature, just ones that have affected you in some way. Paste these instructions and tag 10 friends, including me, so I can see your list. 1. William Gibson, Pattern Recognition : exactly the right book for the moment, whenever that was, some time in 2005. 2. Russell Hoban, Riddley Walker : you bes go ballsy 3. Orson Card, Enders Game : great book from a superlative turd of a human being, ponder the contradictions 4. John LeCarre, The Constant Gardener : a high point in a very distinguished career 5. Neal Stephenson, The Diamond Age : as read by firelight, he is more romantic than a magical realist any day 6.W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil : the love of duty 7. David Mitchell, number9dream : all of mitchell, actually 8. Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac : why i want to live in wisconsin 9. Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy : always on the nightstand, seriously 10. Wallace Stevens, Harmonium : he is only the best thing ever, so why not start at the beginning? lets see what James Kidston (the brain), Lisa Griffen Murphy (the book club!), Matthew Brown (the literati), Dan Lopata (the mentor), and Anne Maier (the english teacher) have to add. im not doing ten people, because i wont fully buy into the chain email/status/whatever thing thats at work here.
