May. 16th, 2005 04:54 pm1)Total number of books owned?
Probably in excess of 200, I have no idea of the exact total. I'd say I have 80 to 100 of those currently in my room.
2) The last book I bought?
No Logo by Naomi Klein, on reccomendation from Kate.
3) The last book I read?
I reread The Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy before the movie came out. At the minute I'm about halfway through 5 or 6 different books, because I can never read just one.
4) 5 books that mean a lot to me?
Matilda By Roald Dahl, because when you're eight and you get picked on for actually liking to read, it helps to have a heroine whose main strengths are her love of books and her imagination.
The Melanie Pluckrose Effect by Roger Burt. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, would not have survived my teen years without this book. So pleased that I now actually own a copy, thanks to random secondhand shops on Amazon.
Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett - the book that introduced me to the Discworld.
The His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman, because every time you read them it hits you just like the first. And the Mulefa are possibly the coolest literary invention of all time.
Round Ireland With a Fridge by Tony Hawks. I was at an all-time low when I read this, and it made me laugh, made me happy and made me see my country in a new light.
