Tagged Again

I`ve been tagged by Dave Holford, so here goes !

Seven things which have changed my life, I suppose......

1. Name a book that you want to share so much that you keep giving away copies:
Either Bp Kallistos` The Orthodox Church or the Rule of St Benedict.

2. Name a piece of music that changed the way you listen to music:

I can`t possibly limit this to one.
Beethoven`s Fur Elise
Bach`s Wachet Auf
Handel`s Zadok the Priest.

These three opened my eyes to classical music as a youngster in school, thanks to an inspirational music teacher.


3. Name a film you can watch again and again without fatigue:

Cars. Even if it makes me a sad person.
And Baz Luhrman`s Romeo and Juliet.
And Apollo 13. Must have seen it at least ten times, and I still grip the edge of my seat even though I know they get back okay.

4. Name a performer for whom you suspend of all disbelief:

Tom Hanks.
The guy is a genius, even if I may never be able to stop being upset that he chose to be in The Da Vinci Code.........

5. Name a work of art you’d like to live with:

The Firstborn by Frederick Elwell.
I want it :-)


6. Name a work of fiction which has penetrated your real life:
Now this really is difficult.
Probably Shelock Holmes and the story involving the Musgrave Ritual, which inspired my fascination with criminology and CSI :-)


7. Name a punch line that always makes you laugh:
Not really a punch line but a quote from DD1 when confronted with Basil the dog`s latest act of perfidy:-
"You are nothing but a South Korean Happy Meal on legs !".
Guaranteed to make me smile every time........

I`m tagging DoomHamster, as it is about time she blogged.......

Good list. I just saw I was tagged too. This IS going to be a difficult list.
