Book Week in Blogland
Okay. So I got this idea from Sabahat’s blog, though I've written mine with no embellishments, and a far inferior knowledge of books. Oh but one li'l embellishment...I've added some comments in a few places, because somehow I cannot keep my mouth shut (or fingers under control, in this case) long enough to write a short post for once! Hehe. So, logically that means I shouldn't have bothered to make a list, but like I've said before...it's my blog, so I have every right to be stupid here if I like :) Nevertheless, those of you who read this post, do make up one of your own as well - it'd be fun seeing it!
The book that changed my life : To be honest, I couldn't really think of one to fit in here, so I decided to go with the closest that I could recall right now, though I'm not really sure if it truly managed to change my life per-se :) Fiela's Child, by Dalene Mathee.
The book I have read more than once : This has to be the category with way too many answers for me to even recall and sift through. For now, I'll just stick with one though that's not so easy right now. Boy, by Roald Dahl.
The book I'd want on a desert island: Aah! This was a toughie because I couldn't help thinking that if I really was on a desert island (and do bear in mind that for some unfathomable reason the only scenario in which I can possible imagine myself on one is if I was stranded there, and was all alone) I'd have far more important and interesting things to deal with, so reading a book wouldn't be very high on my priority list. However, as practical as that analysis is, for the sake of making my list I did have to choose something, so I thought it should be a book which somehow made me feel serene in a way that is very unusual and, curiously, unexplainable. Désiree, by Annemarie Selinko.
The book that made me laugh : My family and other animals, by Gerald Durrell.
The book that made me cry : A boy named Dave, by Dave Pelzer.
The book I think everyone should own : 'Labaik', by Mumtaz Mufti.
The book I am currently reading : One hundred years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garçia Marquez.
The book I have been meaning to read : Why I am not a Christian, by Bertrand Russell.
The book that I wish had never been written : The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho.
The book that I wish had been written : Haha, this has to be the most interesting and the most difficult question of all. It certainly had me stumped, and I still can't come up with an answer even half as intelligent as the question itself. The only book that comes to mind that I wish, at this instant, existed is Roger Federer's Autobiography, so I'm just gonna stick with that :)

I haven't read enough to compile such a list.
I liked reading your comments.
Why do you wish The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho had never been written? This book has been sitting on my bookshelf for quite some time now and I haven't gotten around to reading it.
And, what's up? How are you?
