Total number of books I own: Apprx 1000. The sad thing about that is, they’re mostly to-be-read. There’s only about 100 books that I’ve read and are keepers, maybe another 25 that I started, gave up, but decided to give another try. Once I finish a book, either it’s a ‘keeper’ and goes back on the shelf, or it goes in the stack of books destined for the Used Book Store. I don’t keep a book just because it’s part of a series. And I’ll keep a book I don’t necessarily love, in totality, but some aspect of it has impressed me enough that I’d want to experience it again.
Last book I bought:
NO LEASE ON LIFE (paperback). I’m not thrilling on this one. But I do like the random jokes; example --
They found a woman on 14th street in a bathtub full of milk.
They did?
With a banana up her ass.
You’re kidding.
The cops are looking for a cereal killer.
There’s a ton more books I’ve bought lately, but I’m too lazy to go find them to list here.
On the 'To Buy' List:
For the most part, I tend to be a browser, walking the bookstore aisles till something-– title, cover— catches my eye. Or I'll surf online and read about upcoming releases. Off the top of my head, and only because I recently read a review on it, I’d be interested in checking out Julie Leto’s Dirty Little Secrets.
Last Books I Read:
Well, there was this one…. ;-) But check out the sidebar for a more up to date list. Er, actually, I think the sidebar needs updating.
I’m in the middle of Edward Rutherfurd’s SARUM at the moment. I read his LONDON a couple of years ago (now on the keeper shelf) and enjoyed it. So far, so good, with this one.
Most Influential Authors:
Influential how? I admire different things about different writers. I love different things about different books. A book that was influential, in the sense that it *really* made me think about life in general and a lot of personal internal stuff, is:
***Okay, I looove this book. Just looking at the cover brings back all the good feelings I floated around in for weeks after reading it.
Tag You're (All) It
Yeah, cause I’m a lazy-ass blogger.
