Total # of books owned: it sounds cliche now, but i seriously couldn't count them. i only keep my favorites and give the rest away. after one four month deployment years ago, i had to buy a new suitcase to get the books that i liked enough to keep, back to the states.
Last Book I bought: 1984 - read it (sort of) in school. decided to read it again a few weeks ago. the book is pissing me off.
Last book i read: ? currently reading 1984, Song of Susannah, A Generous Orthodoxy, See You At The Top, The Screwtape Letters, Storyselling for Financial Advisors. i have each book in a different location, i.e. gym bag, stationary bike, office, bedroom, home office.
Five books that mean a lot to me:
in no particular order...
1. THE STAND - just one of my all time favorite books.
2. The TAlisman/The Black House
3. The Gunslinger series
4. The Last of the Mohicans (and the rest of Natty books)
5. The Chronicles of Narnia
sorry there isn't deep there. the books that are most meaningful for me are the ones that entertain me. the ones that teach me go into a completely different category.
