The Stick Has Been Passed
Okay. I've been poked with a Magic Reach by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lovecraftienne, so now onto the Book Meme...
1) Total number of books in your house:
Do I have to count? Lots. Hundreds. Reference ones, and biographical ones, and children's ones, and graphic ones, and gaming ones, and ancient ones, and so much more.
2) The last book you bought was:
Aside from giving my money to the nice people at Now and Then for flat paper objects, No One Noticed the Cat by Anne McCaffrey for my at-the-time unborn babe (this was last summer. I have so many yet to be read, and I still want to buy more. And I miss working at LSC...free books...*shudder in delight*)
3) What was the last book you read before reading this?
Again, aside from a comic book, Terry Pratchett's A Hat Full of Sky.
4) Write down 5 books you often read or that mean a lot to you.
Last Hero, Terry Pratchett
Archangel, Sharon Shinn
Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, Chris Moore
Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien
American Gods, Neil Gaiman
5) Who are you going to pass theMagic Reach stick to (three people) and why?
sorceressmedea, a fellow classicist and I'm curious to know what she's translating, er, reading...:)
angeliquewisom on account that I don't know much about her and would like to know more.
hollygoth 'cause she works in a library, and must be tempted to read surrounded by all those books.

I think I may be the only person on my flist who doesn't like Terry Pratchett. I've tried on three occasions, with three different books (don't ask me the names, they didn't keep me beyond a chapter each). Strange. Almost everyone I know thinks he's the cat's laughter, but it just isn't there for me. For my funny f/sf books, I go to Robert Rankin (Witches of Chiswick, Apocalyptic Chocolate Bunnies from Hell - the latter may not be word-for-word accurate), or Tom Hoth (too many to mention).
