Total # of books owned? Beyond counting. Around 500 would be my guess. They just stack up. All I know is that when I packed them into the boxes (spreading them through all six, to even out the weight), I was only able to part with a measely five.
Last Book I Bought? Faerie Wars by Herbie Brennan
Last Book I Read? Willow (a novelisation by Wayland Drew), but I just started reading Order of the Pheonix this afternoon.
Five Books that Mean a Lot to Me:
1. Interview With A Vampire by Anne Rice. I found it on sale in a bargain bin outside the library in Kent or something, but it was one of the first books I found as I began my journey into the vampire thing. I didn't realise I'd had it recced to me some days/weeks previous by a guy who I didn't like, and I couldn't even remember her name when I mentioned it to Judah (who got me started on the vamp thing). But I love it, as a a good book, and just where it led me in life.
2. Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. Another book picked up randomly this time at somewhere like Value Village. I love his style, even if it took me a few pages to understand it, not to mention the stories he tells. It was enough that I persuaded Mum to acquire me a copy of 'Tis as well.
3. Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. Even when I found Richard falling in love with Kahlan to be terribly clice, the the wizard's rules are so wonderfully applicable to real life. I see these rules and I want to remember them and try to keep to them, for the betterment of my life as well as others.
4. The Horse and His Boy by C. S. Lewis. It's my favourite of the Narnia chronicles. I love the characters, the challenges they face, and how things come through in the end. It's just a wonderful, simple tale with all the right stuff.
5. Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison. Where, oh where would I be without the confessions of Georgia Nicolson? Without here there would be no SG's, nor snogging scales, ear snogging and nip libbling, no fabbity-fab-fabness. Even if she does not want to live in Kiwi-a-gogo land like moi.

For the record, 6 & 1/2 double shots of bourbon and cola or vodka and whatever is enough to get me pretty damn drunk, but not enough to puke, pass out, or get a hangover. (Well, I've never had a hangover) I fell asleep somewhere between 2:30 & 3 in the morning but was bright eyed and bushy tailed at 7:30 for my 8:00 lecture. I was up 'til two again this morning but then I slept until 12:30. It's almost dinner time now though.
