Having \u00a0been tagged by Byron<\/a>, how could I resist…<\/p>\n

1. One book that changed your life:<\/strong>
\nWorkplace Relations Act 1996: Reprinted as at 27 March 2006<\/em> – has brought me much stress and income.
\nSeriously, if not changed my life then changed my thinking, What’s So Amazing About Grace <\/em>by Philip Yancey.<\/p>\n

2. One book that you\u2019ve read more than once: <\/strong>
\nHeart of Darkness <\/em>by Joseph Conrad<\/p>\n

3. One book you\u2019d want on a desert island: <\/strong>
\nThe Bible, obivously. Apart from that, Lord of the Flies<\/em> by William Goldman, for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n

4. One book that made you laugh: <\/strong>
\nCalvin and Hobbes <\/em>by Bill Waterson<\/p>\n

5. One book that made you cry: <\/strong>
\nEthel and Ernest<\/em> by Raymond Briggs<\/p>\n

6. One book that you wish had been written:<\/strong>
\n“A Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer” – as referred to in The Diamond Age<\/em> by Neal Stephenson<\/p>\n

7. One book that you wish had never been written: <\/strong>
\nAtlas Shrugged<\/em> by Ayn Rand. Interesting book, but inspired the political philosophy of Thatcher and Reagan.<\/p>\n

8. One book you\u2019re currently reading:<\/strong>
\nSystem of the World<\/em> by Neal Stephenson<\/p>\n

9. One book you\u2019ve been meaning to read: <\/strong>
\nPolitics as a Profession <\/em>by Max Weber<\/p>\n

10. Now tag five people:<\/strong>
\nLarissa<\/a>, Tegan<\/a>, Dan\u00a0Anderson<\/a>, Tim\u00a0Narraway<\/a>, Mandy<\/a> – not that any of them are likely to actually read this unless I point it out to them, but they are among the few people I know who have blogs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
