Ok Elie, here you go.
1. Name one book that changed your life: I am not sure that I can pick one book and say that it changed my life. I can point out many that influenced me, but just one…
2. One book you’ve read more than once: The Fellowship of the Ring.
3. One book you’d want on a desert island: I hate having to narrow it down to just one book. This answer changes from time to time. How about a Tolkien Anthology.
4. One book that made you laugh: A Collection of Jewish Humor.
5. One book that made you cry: Tuesdays with Morrie
6. One book you wish you’d written: The Art of War
7. One book you wish had never been written: I don’t want to give these guys any more publicity.
8. One book you’re currently reading: Gettysburg- Stephen W. Sears

Pretty good answers, Jack. #7 was very good!
I have a question for you. When you were younger, reading a particularly captivating book, did you listen to music, too? If so, when the music plays again, now, do you flash back to that book? A Pavlovian sort of response?
While I was reading “The Hobbit” and then the whole “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, the radio was playing such things as the Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows” (okay, it was many years ago!). Today, if that song, or a few others, plays, I am transported right back to those tales.
