1. Total number of books owned
   Oh, good lord. I cannot even begin to guess.
   
   I would put it over 1000, though. Especially considering three completed degrees between us, a fourth on the way, and children's books. Our dream home includes a small library.
   
   
2. Last book bought
   The Chrysalids, by John Wyndham. Which I was sure I owned, but couldn't find.
   
   
3. Last book read
   Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and/or Dragonfly in Amber, both re-reads in prep for a new book in the series.
   
   
4. Five books that mean a lot to me
   1. Tigana, Guy Gavriel Kay, for the beauty of it and because I could identify with the children of exiles
   2. Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follet, for the medievalocity
   3. The Gate to Women's Country, Sheri Tepper, for the intricate three-story feminist subplot
   4. Red Mars (Green Mars, Blue Mars), Kim Stanley Robinson, for the sheer intellectual weight
   5. The Chrysalids, John Wyndham, because Blessed Is the Norm
   
   
5. Tag 5 people and have them fill this out on their journal
   I think just about everyone I know has already done it ;)

The Chrysalids! I remember that book. Now I'll have to go rummage through my library to see if I can find it.
