We call upon the author.
I got tagged by kfan and was given three years in which to respond, but since I know full well how viciously I procrastinate I’m just gonna knock this one out right now:
Total number of books I’ve owned:
I don’t know. Hundreds and hundreds. Possibly over a thousand if the graphic novels and collections are included.
The last book I bought:
Comics: The hardcover of Millar & Hitch’s Ultimates 2 on Wednesday. Proper Book With Words: Err… OK, I admit it, it’s The New Encyclopedia Of Modern Bodybuilding by Arnold Schwarzenegger. I’m not proud. So far my planned re-commitment to working out has not yet begun, but I sure have thrown some more money at it! That counts for something, right?
The last book I read:
Comics: Ganges #2. Not quite book length but I’m counting it. Proper Book With Words: Don DeLillo’s The Names.
Five books that mean something to me:
Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles, Salman Rushdie’s The Ground Beneath Her Feet, James Robinson & Tony Harris’ Starman, William Gibson’s Idoru, and Clive Barker’s Sacrament, even though I’ve only ever read about fifty pages of it. Long story.
