Ugh-one that's all about books. Am I alone in the fact that I rarely (like really rarely) buy books? I'm a library or loan-from-friends guy.

Nevertheless, I will attempt to answer the best I can:

Number of books I own:
I'm with Aaron; this is kind of a ridiculous question. I own books from my childhood, some textbooks, some field guides, some travel guide books, some philosophy-oriented books, and just a few works of fiction (most of which were inhereted from my my mom, who is one of the most prolific readers I have ever known).

Last book I bought: Goodnight, Groundhog! (for Lucy) That reminds me, lame children's literature is one of my great annoyances. There's sooo many wonderful books out there, that there's really no excuse for having crap in your child's collection. Anyone interested in a few recommendations, I'd be more than happy to pass them along.

books I am reading: Currently: Prairy Erth, by William Least Heat Moon and (once again-I know, I'm nuts) There And Back Again, a Hobbit's Tale.

Last book I read (and have finished): Does McElligot's Pool by Dr. Suess count?

Five Books that mean a lot to me: Lord of the Rings, Prairy Erth, Walden, The Lorax, and Guess How Much I Love You?

I've no one left to tag. I could tag Cory, but he neither reads nor is currently posting.
