1) Total number of books owned?
roughly 3000, plus whatever's in the boxes. That doesn't count zines, either.

2) The last book I bought?
Something From the Oven by Laura Shapiro

3) The last book I read?
Last one I read for the first time: More Perfect Than the Moon by Patricia MacLachlan
Last one I re-read: A Little Princess

4) Five books that mean a lot to me?
-Good Night, Mister Tom by Michelle Magorian
-The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien
-A Solitary Blue (and the rest of the Tillerman books) by Cynthia Voigt
-Midnight is a Place by Joan Aiken
-Gaudy Night by Dorothy Sayers

Mind you, that's a scant fraction of the books I'll reread at the drop of a hat, and if you ask me in a week I'll probably give you five different titles, but those will do for now.

5) Tag 5 people and have them fill this out on their LJs: (If they want to, anyway. And haven't done so already, I may have missed them!)

I'll have to check into some of those titles you mentioned. I'm not familiar with most of them. I love Gaudy Night--in fact I love Lord Peter. I may have to get out my Sayers again for a re-read...

A lot are on the kids side of the library, but don't let that stop you.

Most of my favorites as an adult are on the children's side, while the majority of my favorites as a child were on the adult side, LOL!

Uhh. Thank you for tagging me. Although I'm almost afraid to talk about it. :)

Books, lalalala books!

My mum was telling me about this beautiful movie she saw a while back, with the late John Thaw (Inspector Morse) in one of the main parts. The movie was called 'Goodnight, mr. Tom' and she was wildly enthusiastic about it. I had no idea there was a book as well, so now I am going to see if I can find a translation for her. I am sure she'll get a kick out of that :)

It's a marvelous book. And the movie is good, but I wish I knew what was in the 15 or 20 minutes that got cut for the US release!

Would you recommend More Perfect than the Moon? (She wrote Sarah, Plain and Tall, right?)

I love the Tillerman cycle too.

If you've been following through with Skylark and Caleb's Story then you'll probably enjoy it.

The Tillerman books are amazing.

Hmm, I have read only 1 of your five books. Clearly I have some work before me! Thanks for the poke! Cheers.

It's kind of fun, in it's own strange way.
