Another Book Meme
I got tagged by Ann, and I’ve cheated shamelessly by often giving more than one answer, or giving an entire category 
ONE BOOK THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE:
I can’t think of one (I’ll probably remember one as soon as I publish this!), but one book that changed my parenting - or rather, shaped my parenting, as I read it before I became a parent, is Kids Are Worth It. A close contender would be Three In A Bed, though that might just have been edged out more recently by Listening to Your Baby
ONE BOOK THAT YOU’VE READ MORE THAN ONCE:
Hm, there are quite a few. My favourite-ever fiction is probably A Prayer for Owen Meany.
TWO BOOKS YOU’D WANT ON A DESERT ISLAND:
Build and Fly Your Own Plane would seem a surefire winner here 
Failing that, Survive on a Desert Island would have to do.
No, I haven’t read either of them. I’ve never felt the need before
ONE BOOK THAT MADE YOU LAUGH:
The Monster at the End of This Book has been a family favourite for years. Some of us have grown out of it, but not me
ONE BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY:
A Mother’s Ordeal: Story of Chi An - One Woman’s Fight Against China’s One-child Policy. Serious stuff, eye-opening and heart-rending, very distressing in parts. Do not read it if you’re pregnant.
ONE BOOK YOU WISH HAD BEEN WRITTEN:
The one that got me off that desert island
ONE BOOK YOU WISH HAD NEVER BEEN WRITTEN:
Any book on parenting that encourages parents to listen to a so-called expert instead of their own babies and their own intuition.
ONE BOOK THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING:
Right now, I’ve got the Mammoth Book of Seriously Comic Fantasy, and The Kitchen God’s Wife on the go.
ONE BOOK YOU HAVE BEEN MEANING TO READ:
This is the easiest question in this meme, except that I have a huge long list and a poorly-stocked local library that won’t order stuff in! So I’m being very greedy and having three 
The Whole Story: Alternative Medicine on Trial? sounds like a good read; I heard the author interviewed on radio when it was published, and have been wanting to have a look at it ever since. I’d also love to read Non-Violent Communication and its sister, Raising Children Compassionately.
FIVE PEOPLE YOU TAG:
I don’t think I dare tag anyone with this. First, it’s a toughie! Second, a lot of people seem to have done it. Third, some of the people who’ve been tagged have bailed out (apparently it’s a toughie ;-))
So if anyone wants it, consider yourself tagged
