Lisa over at Lisa writes was tagged for a book meme. She didn't tag anyone specifically, but since I love books, I'll take up the challenge.
BOOKS THAT HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE:
The Bible
Desiring God by John Piper - I loved this book and I want to read it again. It transformed my walk with Christ.

BOOKS I WISH HAD NEVER BEEN WRITTEN:

Looks like we have some things in common, like a love of all things Austen! Are you planning to watch "Persuasion" on Masterpiece Theater tonight?
Oh yeah, I finished the "Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman" series and loved them! I think you asked what I thought of the second novel? Well, I had already read about it being something of a diversion from the Elizabeth storyline, so I was expecting it and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Lisa, I responded to your comment over at your blog too. I'm glad you liked the Fitzwilliam Darcy books. I loved them too.
I have my DVR set for the whole Austen series of movies. I am thinking of trying to re-read each book before the new movies air, just as a refresher. Especially the books that I haven't read in a while, like Mansfield Park. I didn't do that with Persuasion though because I read it again just a few months ago. Thanks for the comment!
What a great list of books. Some I've read and some I will look for to read. I love getting recomendations! You'll have to let me know what you think of the Excellent Wife.
Oh, I'm a big John Piper fan, so I love your list. I've read "When I Don't Desire God" twice and taught several chapters at ladies Bible study. You must add "Battling Unbelief" to your list, as well. I think it's a faster read (although rich) because it's shorter than his other books.
Liz,
Thanks for the recomendation of Battling Unbelief. They have it in an audio CD at my library, so I requested it. I'm looking forward to listening to it as I'm a big John Piper fan too!
