kyrieane tagged me when she did this, and who am I to argue? I love my books, though they've been woefully neglected since I discovered slash. *g*



1. Total number of books I've owned: I'd have to guess at about the 10,000 mark, and about 7,000 of them are still with me.

2. Last book I bought: Potter's Cyclopedia of Botanical Drugs and Preparations, 5th Edition, 1941

3. Last book I read: Watchers, by Dean Koontz

4. 5 books that mean a lot to me:
The Stand by Stephen King - I try to read the unabridged editin at least once a year
Ages in Chaos by Emmanual Velikovsky - history revised
The Oxford Paperback Dictionary and Thesaurus - my bible!
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C S Lewis - this book (series) gave my imagination wings
Men In Love by Nancy Flowers - insight into the sexual fantasies of men, in their own words!

5. Tag 5 people and have them fill this out in their LJs:

I love my books, though they've been woefully neglected since I discovered slash.

Word to your mother. I read something other than slash last month, and it about blew my poor little mind. Wow...words that don't include Spike or Xander or any mention of a Hellmouth...weird. :) I love "The Stand", too, I think it's probably his most ambitious work, although "The Shining" will always be my SK fave. I'll get to work on this for ya...

The Shining is a wonderful book, it gives me the shivers every time I read it. Such a terrifying idea, being stuck in the middle of nowhere like that.

I nagged a friend into watching the Jack Nicholson movie just a week before he actually went to stay in the hotel they used to shoot the exteriors. (Yeah, I'm evil, we know this already *g*) Apparently he spent the entire week jumping at every unexpected sound. Hee!

I can't wait to read your choices!
