I borrowed the following "book meme" from Jason (Busy, Busy, Busy).

Number of books I own:

Probably at least a thousand, but not having counted them I can't be certain.

Last book bought:

"Newton's Wake" by Ken MacLeod. I think.

Last book read:

"Master of Space and Time" by Rudy Rucker.

Currently reading:

"Singularity Sky" by Charles Stross, "The Mysterious Valley" by Christopher O'Brien and "Angels and Aliens" by Keith Thompson.

Five books that mean a lot to me:

"Terraplane" by Jack Womack, "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka, "Perdido Street Station" by China Mieville," "1984" by George Orwell, and "Nova Express" by William S. Burroughs.
