My list for the One Book Meme Game

1. One book that changed my life: Hayek, The Road to Serfdom

2. One book I’ve read more than once: Orwell, Animal Farm — in eighth grade. I don’t re-read much

3. One book I’d want on a desert island: Riverside Shakespeare

4. One book that made me laugh: Po Bronson, Bombardiers. The futures market for jelly donuts is

5. One book that made me cry:Peggy Noonan, John Paul the Great

6. One book that I wish had been written: I think this is more
the book I wish I knew about — how religion, economics, and politics
interact in different societies 

7. One book I wish had not been written: George Lakoff, Don’t Think of an Elephant.
If those on the left want to understand conservatives and libertarians,
they should take a look at George’s reading list instead of reading
Lakoff’s waste of time and resources.

8. One book I’m currently reading: The Portable Edmund Burke

9. One book I’ve been meaning to read: Doris Kearns Goodwin, Team of Rivals. I’ve had it recommended by a number of people and it would be a good supplement to the Lincoln section of Eliot Cohen’s Supreme Command.

Keeping it in the JLF family I’ll tag Terry Stoops, Troy Kickler, Shannon Blosser, Mitch Kokai, and Michael Moore the intern.
