1) Total number of books owned?

lord. about 200? my room is basically bookshelves. when i get my own house, i'm so getting a library so i don't have to keep half my collection in cardboard boxes.

2) The last book I bought?

it's been awhile. um, probably not as crazy as i seem. (go having OCD!!!)

3) The last book I read?

i'm currently reading huckelberry finn for school, and spadework for fun, though i like them both. huck is about (as if you all don't already know) a kid and his adventures with a black slave down a river. spadework is about an actor and his wife, and it has a shitload of awesome subplots.

4) Five books that mean a lot to me?

Callahan's Con- Spider Robinson. this is actually the last in a series of about 10, but they can be understood seperatly. this one is new, but they started in the 70's, so most i got at used book stores. it's sci fi, without the sci. (as in, aliens, but not about their physiology, about their relationships to humans)

Go Jump in the Pool- Gordon Korman. i used to have a lot of nightmares, and whenever i woke up, i read it to laugh and fall back asleep in a good mood. juveile, yes, but important to my childhood.

speaker for the dead- orson scott card. i love olhado. when science and relationships, and abuse are mixed, it's like staci's personal book cocktail.

archers goon- diana wynn jones. i keep my books in mint condition, but this cover has creases. it follows me EVERYWHERE i travel. oh, feel the love of 7 siblings fighting for control of the town.

staying fat for sarah byrnes- Chris Crutcher. GO CRISPY PORK RINDS. seriously though folks, abuse, mental institutions, fat people, how could you go wrong?

those being singled out, i love everything that all those writers have written.

oh, and fransia lia block is such pretty meaningless writing. when i need a book of cotton candy, i read her stuff.

yeah, well, books rather kept me alive when i was younger and friendless. then i just got into the habit, and now i like reading even though i have actual people to talk to.

hey! me too
but i've probably read a bunch of books you haven't, since i've never heard of those books, i must assume it's a different genre. i survive for books, they are the only thigs that get me through the day until i can get online and talk to you guys *snuggles* and i still love reading, right now i'm reading "Alcuin: his life and work" and it's very fascinating!

three sci fi, and two real life type thing. i really like sci fi where the focus isn't the science.
yeah, i agree. books are seriously important to life. even now, that i have people, i can still trust a book more then a person.
what's that about?
