“Book” Marked
I was tagged in J. Erik Potter’s blog (whom I didn’t know had one!) answering questions about books - what you have, how many, etc etc. Seemed interesting.
The Protocol: Answer 5 questions. Tag 5 booklovers.
The Questions:
1) How many books do you own?
2) What was the last book you read?
3) What was the last book you purchased?
4) What five books are most meaningful to you?
5) What is your most obscure favorite book? Or, favorite most obscure book?
My Answers:
1) Only about 70 or so. Ive donated mega boxes full to libraries in both Ames and Simi Valley at various times of moving.
2) Tie between The Dip and The Four Hour Work Week
3) The Dip (see above)
4) Geez. Mirror by Graham Masterton, The Eternity Brigade by Stephen Goldin, Kids in the Biz by Troy Rutter (I had to put it in…), How To Publish Your Non-Fiction Book, Othersyde by J. Michael Straczynski
5) Hm, now this is a hard one. I would have to say The Eternity Brigade above. I read it several times growing up, and then it was near impossible to find. Now he has reprinted it both in print and digitally, so it is available again. There are so many levels dealing with war that parallel things going on today even, plus the science fiction aspect. It’s not a literary classic by any means, but always a good read.
So now I get to tag people? How about…
Jennifer Nieland, Michael Burstein, Dan Wood, CC Chapman, and what the heck Wil Wheaton
