I'm it!

Yes. I've been tagged by Kate.

Here goes:

1)Total number of books I've owned: I'd say at least 300...but that's a total guess...I'm not going to count.

2) The last book I bought: 101 Things To Do Before You Die by Richard Horne.

From the blurb: Have you ever milked a cow? Made the Guinness Book of World Records? Done the Monopoly Board Pub Crawl? Joined the Mile High Club? No? Then it's high time you reassessed your priorities. 101 Things To Do Before You Die is the definitive guide to everything you should do before it's too late.

I've already completed 2 out of the 101 and I'm hoping to complete about 6 more in the next 2 years...Let's see what happens.

3)The last book I read: I started reading The Tempest (Willy Shakespeare - incase you didn't know) for uni, but I haven't finished it. Does that count? Also - I guess it's not a book...well...my version wasn't - it was a photocopied book.

Whatever.

4) 5 books that mean a lot to me:
- 101 Things To Do Before You Die: See above.

- The Grug series: I learnt to read off these and I've still got them. Hopefully my kids (I don't have any yet - don't worry) can get the same enjoyment out of them...

- Fast Foward (don't remember who it was by): One of my favorite books in primary school - mainly because it was about television and two kids who had the ability to use the television remote to stop, play, fast foward and rewind things around them. Who wouldn't want a bit of escapisim during primary school?

- Perfume by Patrick Suskind: I had to read this in year 11 and found it to be one of the best books I've ever read. I think it's recommended reading for anyone! Anyone!!

- Maus (Vol. 1 + 2) by Art Speigleman: One of the best (not that I've read many) graphic/comic novels. The way it deals with it's subject matter (the author's discussions/arguements with his father who had survived the WW2 holocaust) is brilliant. The comic book style is just an added bonus.

5) Tag 5 people and have them fill this out on their blogs:

I don't have 5 people that I can tag. I'm lonely.

So if you're reading this and you want to fill this out by all means - go ahead. I don't like to force people into doing things.
