Confessional Lutheran theology, hagiography, philosophy, music, culture, sports, education,
and whatever else is on the fevered mind of Orycteropus Afer

"Book 'Em, Aardie"
I've previously noted that I only occasionally respond to a blog tag or meme. The Book Tag making the rounds is an exception. Not only did Rev. McCain tag me, I've also seen it posted at other sites with an open invitation to do likewise.
Like others who've participated, narrowing things down to one choice is daunting. I left myself a little wiggle room by counting series as on big book. However, for each I listed, I could easily replace it with a handful to dozens of alternate choices.
1. One book that changed your life:
Luther, Small Catechism
2. One book, other than the Bible, that you've read more than once:
Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
3. One book you'd want on a desert island:
The Lord Will Answer: A Daily Prayer Catechsim
4. One book that made you laugh:
P. J. O'Rourke, Give War a Chance: Eyewitness Accounts of Mankind's Struggle against Tyranny, Injustice, and Alcohol-Free Beer
5. One book that made you cry:
Fred Gipson, Old Yeller
6. One book that you wish had been written:
A Founding Fathers' Guide to Interpreting the United States Constitution
7. One book that you wish had never been written:
Hal Lindsey, The Late Great Planet Earth
8. One book you're currently reading:
Madeleine L'Engle, The Young Unicorns
9. One book you've been meaning to read:
Klemet Preus, The Fire and the Staff
10. Tag others:
Samantha Burns, Robert Waters, Tim, Caspar, and Jon Ledetroit of Beggars All, and any other bloggers reading this.
