3. One book you’d want on a desert island: "Robinson Crusoe" (maybe it would give me some ideas), also the Bible

4. One book that made you laugh: "Praise of Folly" (laughed at the author)

5. One book that made you cry: "Where the Red Fern Grows"

6. One book that you wish had been written: "John Wilkes Booth: An Autobiography". 2) "Never Start a Land War in Asia" by Napoleon Bonaparte, Alexander the Great, and Adolf Hitler. 3) "Why Are Our Ships in the Harbor Flying the French Flag?" by Lord Cornwallis

7. One book that you wish had never been written: The Scrabble Dictionary (it perplexes me when people accidentally find "new" words on the triple word score while foraging for words that start with a different letter), also "Lord of the Flies"
