1. Total number of books I own:
Books owned with me in Melbourne: around 250-300. Total books owned: 400-500, I guess. Maybe more. I need a bigger house.
2. The last books I bought:
Daniel C. Dennett's Darwin's Dangerous Idea and Stephen Jay Gould's Bully For Brontosaurus.
3. The last book I read all the way through:
I read four novellas in a row, but they're too short to count; the book I read at the same time, Richard Dawkins' A Devil's Chaplain, is a collection of essays, but it's novel-length. (Sorry DJ, I know the novel was originally a genre, but I'm much too strongly moored to the "modern" meaning now).
4. Five books I read a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
Doctor Who and the Terror of the Autons - Terrance Dicks (the other book I've read more than five times; it was my primary school library's only Doctor Who novelisation)
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - Jules Verne
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams (one of the only two books I've read more than five times, though the last time was at least 10 years ago)
The Little Prince - Antoine de Saint Expury
Les Miserablés - Victor Hugo
