Woman's Got To Do What Woman's Got To Do

In other words, I seem to be book tagged.

How many books do you own?

A lot. Something between 100-200 if I count the comic books in as well. A few years back I used to read anything book-shaped and consequently bought plenty of books and comics. I keep reminding myself that I should go back to it, somehow I just seem to have less time to read than I had back then. The combination of the internet and Real Life (tm) is to blame, methinks.

Whats the last book you bought?

Einverstanden! for my German classes.

Whats the last book you read?

Night Watch by Terry Pratchett.

Currently reading?

Just got my paws on the latest Harry Potter, will start reading it as soon as this is posted.

A book you've been reading for a long time but never got around to finishing?

Terence Scully's The Art of Cookery in the Middle Ages. The book is absolutely brilliant, but because it works so well as reference material, I only dig out the chapters I'm currently interested in or need the info. So I could say that I've read all of it, but not in a traditional from cover to cover-sense.

Other than that, Dante's Divina Commedia. I never got past the Purgatory.

What 5 books have meant the most to you?

The Discworld novels by T. Pratchett, especially Small Gods. I guess the 10 years of learning English at school would have been a wasted effort if I hadn't decided that the Finnish translations sucked arse the size of an oil tanker.

The Lord of the Rings. It's long, pompous and sometimes boring, but boy did it rock my world when I was about 10 years old. I read it seven times in a row.

Douglas Adams' Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Bril-li-ant.

I can't remember the name of it, but when I was but a wee lass, my parents gave me a book about the evolution and history of mankind. Been curious about the past events ever since.

Calvin and Hobbes. Say what you want, I like reading comics as much as traditional books.

Who would you like to book tag?

Elina and Miti. Consider yourselves tagged :)
