So! I've been memed by The Eternal Wanderer!
1. What is the total number of books you’ve owned?
Pfft. Who knows? I estimate around 700-800 books. Probably a lot more when I start adding the books left at my parents's.
2. What is the last book you bought?
I bought five books at the same time:
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
4. What are you currently reading?
Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman by Haruki Murakami
5. What are the 5 books that have meant a lot to you or that you particularly enjoyed?
Hmm. Have to think a bit on this...
Probably something from Paul Theroux. Like The Great Railway Bazaar.
7. What book(s) that caught your attention but never had a chance to read?
Hmm. Children of the Gebelawi by Naguib Mahfouz and The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie.
8. What book(s) that you’ve owned for so long but never read it?
9. Who are you going to pass this meme to (3 persons) and why?
I'm flushing it down the toilet. So long, meme!
