Bookz Tag!
Finally! The post that Ninja has been waiting for!
o.k.
# of books I own: I'd say between 75 & 100-ish. (Too lazy to actually count them)
Last book I bought: I splurged at Indigo and bought Waiting for Godot, Ranma 1/2 #1 & the Underpants.
Last book(s) I read: The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy (not because of the movie, but because I wanted the box set)
5 books that mean a lot to me:
1) Tommy's Tale by Alan Cumming.
Alan Cumming is one of my favorite broadway actors. I've loved his work ever since I heard the first beautiful lines of "Cabaret." And OhMaGawd he wrote a book! I loved the stories, I loved the expressions, and at the end, that's the kind of family I want to have. You'd have to read it to understand. Just know that this book is what I wish my life could be like (just without the drugs.)
2) The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Don't think it's cheesy. It's the first fantasy novel I'd read and one of the first "grown up" books I'd read outside of school. I couldn't put it down. I remember being on vacation and asking for the keys so I could sit in the car and read. Willing to put up with horrible car sickness just to find out what happened next. Anything that holds my attention that well means something to me.
3) Hitchikers Guide by Douglas Adams
I love british comedy! I'm a huge Monty Python fan, and Adams just has this hysterical, off-the-wall storytelling quality that I love! I hadn't devoured books like this since I got addicted to Harry Potter. A cult favorite that I'm proud to be a part of.
4) Yuck! A Love Story by Don Gillmor & illustrated by Marie-Louise Gay
Yeah, it's a kids book. But it's a cool kids book. A boy is invited to a girl's birthday party (Eww!! Girls!), and decides that he's going to give her... the moon. I found this book while I was doing inventory in a book store. I read it quickly while I was working and have loved it ever since. And I gave it to someone I love. It's a cute story to be shared with those you really care about.
And last but not least:
5) The Bible
What?!?! That heathen read the Bible!! Yes, I did. And I usually liked it. I've been dealing with my faith (or lack thereof) recently and I realised that it really does mean a lot to me. And the Bible happens to be a very important part of my faith. I have found comfort and answers (good or bad) there and I will hold it near and dear to me for a long time.
So there.
I hereby claim the right of multi-tag!
Dr. Teeth... you love lists too. Don't deny it! Tag!!
And Jugglepants? I know you're out there! Tag!!

I've kind of done this before - but only kind of. And any excuse to make another marginally interesting list is a good excuse. I'll get to it soon enough.
