Thanks for the tag, Weetzie! This one is similar to, but not exactly the same as, a book meme I did awhile back. All my answers are different now anyway.

1. Total number of books I've owned:

The I've confuses me here. Total number of books I've EVER owned? In all my life thus far? Sweet google that is too many to count. Currently on my small bookshelf there are about 75 books, mostly English major stuff like Fitzgerald, Faulkner, and EVERY NOVEL CHARLES DICKENS HAS EVER WRITTEN. (I guess you could say I went through a Dickens phase in college.) I also have many many anthologies, which is Latin for books for which you must sell your ovaries in order to afford, and from which you only ever read one 15-page short story. Such a good word, anthology. Makes literature sound so scientific. Wait, where was I? Oh yes, number of books.

I also have about 50 children's books. Mostly Dr. Seuss. I have EVERY BOOK DR. SEUSS HAS EVER WRITTEN. (Yeah, the phase thing again.)

Finally, I have boxes and boxes and boxes of books in the basement. BOXES.

2. Last book I bought:

Three Junes by Julia Glass. I've been wanting to read this one and the Redneck Valley Library doesn't have it. But Barnes & Noble is my bitch.

3. Last book I read:

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. (Word, Weetzie.)

4. Currently reading:

Three Junes.

5. Five books that mean a lot to me:

a) The Hours by Michael Cunningham - Hands down the best novel I've ever read. Ever.
b) The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger - The best novel I've read recently. (Word once again, Weetzie.)
c) Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss - This book turns me on like only grammar can. And ooh, the British terms are so hot. Full stop, how sexy is that?! Seriously. SO sexy.
d) Marriage Shock by Dalma Heyn - Examines the effect societal expectations have on the role of Wife. This is a fascinating, liberating, and essential read. I give it to all my friends when they get engaged.
e) The Adventures of Kloggy - I KNOW, how cool is this? Thanks to mrtl for discovering it.

I love getting book recommendations. So if you've got some, now would be the time.
