tagged in the back!
i refuse to look up the definition of 'meme'. but i get the gist i suppose. so well, here's to you L:
How many books have you owned?
hmmm.....well, do comic books count? sans comics i suppose i have about 250-300 on hand. i think i'm currently only a few rungs above vagabond. for years i traveled with a circus and discovered that books are a real pain in the ass to carry on one's back. so i unloaded all the books i'd read (minus ones i was likely to read again) in boxes into my brothers care. i suppose that's another 200-300. and if we consider all the books i've traded in at second hand book stores for store credit and books i've loaned (indefinately) add another 50 or so then multiply by my interest level in the brad pitt, jennifer aniston, angelina jolie love triangle and well....about 3 books i guess.
What was the last book you bought?
wait...hold up....lemme think....oh yeah...Ten Plays by Euripides! i bought something else too but it seems to not be in my memory anymore.
What was the last book you read?
this depends on how we are to look at this question. i read in clumps. several books going at once. then i will stop suddenly causing pile-ups behind me. also, are we considering books i am currently reading?
a) books i've recently finished in my last cycle...
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut
The Plague by Albert Camus (although i started this a while ago, i just finished it off)
The Red Dragon by Thomas Harris
b) books in my current cycle....
Te of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff
The Castle by Franz Kafka
Hocus Pocus by Kurt Vonnegut
Middle Passage by Charles Johnson
The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty
The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
What are five books that have meant a lot to you?
i'd like to skip this question as it requires me to sift through the shoddy database called my brain and create an assessment of each book.
ok fine here:
1) Alice In Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
2) The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang
3) Doorways in the Sand by Roger Zelazny
4) just about anything by Philip K Dick (i only have about 10 of his books right now)
5) (and one pinched from L) Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
again...feel free to go ahead and take it from here.
