I’ve been (uh, er, more or less) tagged <\/a>for the following book meme<\/a> from Tigers in Red Weather<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1)Total number of books in your house:
\nI was going to estimate by feet, but unlike some, I own a lot of children’s books, and they’re usually thinner. Plus my copy of Infinite Jest<\/a> hasn’t arrived yet, and it’s 7 feet wide. I’m going to say that I own around 100 books. See, I’m a librarian’s <\/a>daughter, so I’ve grown up borrowing, and borrow I will until I die.<\/p>\n

Although as I am not a librarian myself yet, I haven’t catalogued my collection – give me two year. Post LIS<\/a>, I will be able to tell you EXACTLY how many books I have.<\/p>\n

2)The last book you bought was:
\nI just bought a knitting reference book for mastery – The Knitter’s Book of Finishing Techniques<\/a> by Nancie M. Wiseman. It hasn’t shown up yet though.<\/p>\n

3)What was the last book you read before reading this?
\nI just finished reading Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I hadn’t read it before, and I’m going to see the movie on Tuesday with Yason.<\/p>\n

4)Write down 5 (or 6) books you often read or that mean a lot to you.
\n1) The Little Prince. I have a tattoo of him, for Cripe’s sake. Favorite book ever. If you ever need to borrow a copy in German, Portugese, or French, let me know.<\/p>\n

2) I’ve read all the Harry Potters, and I’m gnashing my teeth waiting for July 16 to come around. I went to the downtown Chicago Borders for the midnight release of book 5, and that was tons of fun. Too bad I won’t be in the city to see hundreds of people streaming onto the El with a giant green book in front of their faces.<\/p>\n

3) My friends and I all went through that phase where we bought multiple copies of Cunt<\/a> to give to other friends.<\/p>\n

4) I think The Time Traveler’s Wife<\/a> might end up being a lifetime favorite. Some of it has to do with the circumstances of when you read a book.<\/p>\n

5) I’m a big Roald Dahl fan. I love everything I’ve read of his, except The BFG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6) You know what? With the exception of The Battle for God<\/a>, I will read just about anything, especially if I get to sit outside in the sun to do so.<\/p>\n

5)Who are you going to pass this onto and why?
\nI’d pass this on to el sig oth<\/a>, but he hasn’t posted since 1983. Therefore, the most logical people to ask are Jake<\/a>, as he DOES own Infinate Jest and is the most literate person I know (“Can I show you something in a Dilillo?”); Allison<\/a>, because I end up reading her books anyway (still have Tropic of Cancer!); and Alena<\/a>, because I’m obliged to (saysters).<\/p>\n

Wasn’t this fun?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
