Total Number of Books I Own: 280 in Delhi, many more in Cal. Have no idea how many, we have a fairly large family library at home…but are those books I own? Anyway, the Delhi number is constrained by the space I have to keep books (minimal)
Last Book I Bought: Am on a fantasy binge at the moment, as I try to work up steam for plotting my third book. Last book I bought was a Terry Pratchett. Maskerade. Rather disappointing, actually.
Last Book I Read: Re-read Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. Last night.
Five Books That Mean A Lot To Me:Gah. OK
Series count as books, ok?
LOTR: Havent read them in years, but the big daddy of specfic is what drove me to the genre in the first place
Discworld: Pratchett is god. Or at least High Priest Hughnon? Ridcully
Sandman. Sorry, I meant Neil Gaiman is god. But thats ok, they can all be gods. Tolkien is god too, though a slightly out-of-it one. Im a pantheon type anyway
Anything by Wodehouse. The all-father in this rapidly growing pantheon
The Calvin and Hobbes series, and Bill Watterson takes up the newly created trickster seat. Not bad at all.
