lishapark tagged me, so I gather I'm meant to answer some questions relating to books. As she started from Xanga, this is rather like spreading contagion to a new community. Cool. I'm a vector.
1. Number of books I own. I'm not going to try to count that, but I might be able to do a ballpark estimate -- on the order of a thousand, perhaps. I have at least five bookshelves at my current place, and they do not have sufficient capacity for all my books.
2. Last book I bought. Easy -- earlier this week I picked up three books by Cornelius Ryan -- The Longest Day (about D-Day), A Bridge Too Far (the battle of Arnhem) and The Final Battle (the battle of Berlin). I've read the first two and was happy to find a set of all three from the same publication run. That, and I didn't even know Ryan wrote a book about the battle of Berlin.
3. Last book I completed. A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, reviewed in an earlier LJ post.
4. Books that mean a lot to me.
Starship Troopers
Perelandra
5. What I'm currently reading.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (I was bullied into continuing the series so that the books can be discussed around me. I've already seen the movie, which is, I think, actually helping me enjoy the book more.) Were I not reading this, I might go ahead and read The Final Battle.
Feel free to feel tagged if you want. :)
