Like Jessica, I feel that the 30 Day Book Challenge is a fun idea but realistically a little painstaking. Here is part of my list en masse.
3. Book that makes you laugh out loud:
A Damsel in Distress by P.G. Wodehouse
4. Book that makes you cry:
This is that awkward moment when I have to admit that I'm not a cry-er. Not with books and movies, anyway. Sometimes I cry when I cut onions. I can name two movies, maybe three, that brought me to tears in the last five years. (No, Toy Story 3 did not.) But I definitely remember crying over a chapter of James Herriott's All Creatures Great and Small over a decade ago.
5. Book you wish you could live in:
Betsy, Tacy, and Tib by Maud Hart Lovelace. Deep Valley always seemed like an ideal world for any teenage girl.

6. Favorite young adult book:
Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt and Number the Stars by Lois Lowry both profoundly impacted me. Between the ages of 7 and 12, I think I read Number the Stars six times.

7. Book that you can quote/recite:
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
8. Book that scares you:
The Deadly Curse of Toco-Rey by Frank Peretti. Yes, it's a book for a junior-high audience. Obviously, I scare easily. I probably should not go see Paranormal Activity.
9. Book that makes you sick:
Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. This book left me numb. It was thoroughly depressing. It was a beautiful and well-written book, but not really one I want to endure again.
10. Book that changed your life;
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller. I've never gotten over this book. It changed the way I view events and circumstances, decisions I've made, and, I hope, my entire outlook on life.
What are your answers?

3. Book that makes you laugh out loud
The only one that comes to mind is The Naked Roommate by Harlan Cohen. It's not a novel, but I read it right before starting my freshman year of college and it was hystical
4. Book that makes you cry
I rarely cry over movies or books, but Tuesdays With Morrie was the one exception
5. Book you wish you could live in
The Virgin Queen's Daughter by Ella March Chase or anything set in the Victorian era
6. Favorite young adult book
I'm not sure this counts since people of all ages have read it. But since it was originally meant as a young adult series, I'll go with the Hunger Games series
7. Book you can quote/recite
The one I'm writing ;p
8. Book that scares you
I was absolutely terrified of The Velveteen Rabbit as a child because I was afraid the same thing would happen to my stuffed rabbit that I'd had since I was 3. I was a sensitive child. LOL..
9. Book that makes you sick
I honestly can't think of one. Although I'm sure The Jungle would have if I'd read it
10. Book that changed your life
I haven't read such a book yet, but I hope too,
3. Book that makes you laugh out loud
Hands down "The Princess Bride". That is the only book that made me laugh at all. And the weird thing is, I only laughed out loud for one line. :)
4. Book that makes you cry
I have to admit, I have never cried from reading a book. I have however, cried in a few movies. Oddly enough, they were the movies that I didn't even like.
5. Book you wish you could live in
Ha..haha...I'm not quite sure I'll ever tell anybody the answer to that question. :)
6. Favorite young adult book
Does "The Three Musketeers" count?
7. Book you can quote/recite
"The Princess Bride"
8. Book that scares you
"The Tombs of Anak" By Frank Peretti
9. Book that makes you sick
"In Harm's Way" was a bit depressing but it didn't make me sick.
10. Book that changed your life
"Giant" by Edna Ferber
