bethlakshmiNo one tagged, me, but what the heck, I need a super-quick break.
1. Total number of books I've owned:
Hundreds. I can no longer count them. I have a dining buffet, and a book case full of them, and more are ooking out of all the corners of my life - under my bed, around my desks, in sewing baskets, on coffee tables - here there and everywhere!!
2. Last book I bought:
To be ridiculously anal - a tour book on Westminster Abby, as that was the last stop on Casa Moomba London Tours. But that was in a orgie of Indian and London Touristy book buying. But the last book I received was Automata and Computability by Kozen - but I had purchased online 2 weeks before.
3. Last book I read:
... I'm so ashamed:
The Fairy Godmother
Mercedes Lackey
In the midst of my erudite sci-fi extravanganza, tiredness from travel made me bring out a very predictable book that would massage my tired brain.
4. 5 books that mean a lot to me:
1) Chronicles of Narnia - first book I read too many times to count, the book that made me an avid fantasy reader
2) Heralds of Valdemar Series - first book I read that talked about different sexualities as normal, but without making it central to the plot
3) Students Guide to UNIX - a book I find myself whipping out time and again as first work source
4) Natya Shastra - a book I find myself referring to and collecting translations of over and over for 3-4 years now.
5) Pat the Bunny - a book I loved so hard I went through 3 copies before growing out of it, probably my first book love affair
5. I'm not tagging anyone. Do it if you're interested.
