Der Bücher kein Ende
Ich mache da weiter, wo der Western Confucian und Video meliora aufhörten. Es fällt mir allerdings schwer, immer nur EIN Buch zu nennen, aber ich versuch's mal:
1. One book that changed your life: Hans Urs von Balthasar: Klarstellungen (In Reserve: Die gesammelten Brief des Apostels Paulus, die es allerdings nicht separat, sondern nur in einem größeren Sammelwerk gibt.)
2. One book that you have read more than once: Walker Percy: Liebe in Ruinen (Alternativ von WP: Der Kinogeher, Die Wiederkehr, Lancelot, Das Thanatos-Syndrom)
3. One book you'd want on a desert island: P. Joseph Kentenich: Himmelwärts (Meine eigene, leicht angegilbte Ausgabe mit allen Heiligen- und sonstigen Bildchen und zusätzlich zur Bibel natürlich...)
4. One book that made you laugh: John Kennedy Toole: Ignaz oder die Verschwörung der Idioten (P. G. Wodehouse und "Handling Sin" von Michael Malone folgen dicht an dicht...)
5. One book that made you cry: Cormac McCarthy: Draußen im Dunkel
6. One book you wish would have been written: Sören Kardinal Kierkegaard: Apologia pro vita mea
7. One book you wish had never been written: Die Autobiographie eines gewissen Landsberger Gefangenen
8. One book you are currently reading: Ralf Rothmann: Stier
9. One book you have been meaning to read: James Joyce: Ulysses
10. Tag some others: Alle, die Zeit und Lust haben.

Ha, der "Sören Kardinal Kierkegaard" hat mir echt gefallen... ;-)
Ich habe meine Liste schon mal bei closedcafeteria.blogspot.com abgegeben, von dort hierher kopiert:
1 A book that changed my life:
G. K. Chesterton: The Catholic Church and Conversion.
It put into me the first (then completely crazy-seeming thought) of converting to Catholicism. (I have also to give some credit to Chesterton's The Superstition of Divorce and Heretics though, all of which I read at that time.)
2 A book I've read more than once:
Graham Greene: Monsignor Quixote.
(I love this beautiful and moving book, despite that it is heavily influenced by the heretic 20th century Spanish philosopher Miguel de Unamuno. Also probably the only funny and light-hearted novel Greene ever wrote.)
3 A book I'd want on a desert island:
Holy Scripture
4 A book that made me laugh:
Evelyn Waugh: Helena
5 A book that made me cry:
C.S. Lewis: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (and the other Narnia books as well)
6 A book I wish had been written:
How to convert pro-abortion activists to the pro-life cause.
7 A book I wish had never been written:
Koran
8 A book I am currently reading:
J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (inzwischen schon fertig)
9 One book I've been meaning to read:
John Paul II: Fides et Ratio
10 A book I've purchased but not yet read:
John J. Norwich: A Short History of Byzantium (halfway through though)
