book meme

[42itous]

Some may have noticed that I try to stay away from memes, but I've been tagged! by eetmewithtoast so I must proceed accordingly.

1) I own about 120 books, ballpark.

2) The last book I bought was How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and How to Listen So Kids Will Talk

3) I finished rereading A Separate Peace earlier this week, and immediately wrapped it in the Sunday comics and mailed it to Ijpe, wherever he is.

4) Five books that mean a lot to me:
1. The Riverside Shakespeare (it's two volumes, but I could have bought it in one so it counts as one)
2. Many Moons, by James Thurber
3. Miss Rumphius, by Barbara Cooney
4. A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving
5. Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson

And I'm supposed to tag five people, but I figure if you want to catch this meme from me, you'll help yourself.

I absolutely loved A Prayer For Owen Meany.

If you don't mind my asking, who are you? I see from your userinfo that you're part of the NPL...

That last comment was me. Sorry, I didn't realize I wasn't logged in.

My nom is 42itous. I live near Boston. We sort of met at last year's con. We were in the same group to learn to solve flats, and then on the Sunday we both went on Eric's "witch hunt" (walking tour of the North End).
