Book meme...hey, look, I'm cool!

Got myself all tagged by [livejournal.com profile] tabaqui. *smooch*

1. Total Number of Books I've Owned: In my lifetime? Somewhere upwards of a thousand. Currently? Only a few hundred - I got rid of a bunch that were cluttering up my rooms and I'd never read again.

2. Last Book I Bought: For class - Daisy Miller, for pleasure - Rosie O'Donnell's Find Me.

3. Last Book I Read: For class - The Great Gatsby, which I adored. For pleasure, Christopher Rice's Light Before Day.

4. Five Books that Mean a Lot to Me:
The Best Little Boy in the World by Andrew Tobias (and the sequel).
A Child Called It series by Dave Peltzer
Bridges Across the Ocean by Randy Boyd
Refuge by Terry Tempest Williams
A Density of Souls by Christopher Rice

5. Tag Five People and Have Them Post This on Their Live Journals: If you've already been tapped and posted, sorry!

I love Gatsby too.
Except the end.

Heh - I loved the ending. That scene where he's talking about taking the train home for Christmas - gives me goosebumps.
