Total number owned: somewhere in the low thousands. Total number I've ever owned would be heaps more.
The last book I bought was Learning to Dance, by Michael Mayne. It's a reflective book on the Christian faith, but also on much more.
The last book I read - well, more to the point, the most recent book I've been reading is Everything Bad is Good for You: how today's popular culture is actually making us smarter. It's by Steven Johnson, and turns out to be a little gem of a book, showing how we're biased against people who like popular culture because we think it's dumbing them down, when it fact much of it is making them more intelligent.
5 books that meant a lot to me: where do I start? The Bible, obviously. Bleak House, by Dickens. This Sunrise of Wonder, by Michael Mayne. What's so Amazing about Grace, by Philip Yancey. Is God to Blame? by Greg Boyd. But there are heaps of others, too

Have you read Girlfriend in a Coma yet? Someone realy recommended Coupland to me - Life After God and All Families are Psychotic. So far I've read Eleanor Rigby and Generation X by him but I wasn't that impressed. Do you know if his other books are better?


myLot reputation of 87/100. micamaldita (360)  6 years ago

Actually, no, I haven't read it yet. I have a pile of books I still have to finish reading and I told myself I wouldn't start on any other books until I finish those I've already started. Lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. Withoutwings (4685)   ranked 4 out of 9,001 in reading  6 years ago

I know what you mean. I keep telling myself I won't buy anymore books until I finsih the hundred (at least) or so that I have at home that I haven't read yet. My book collection has spilled over to my mom's house too where she has 4 boxes of paperbacks that I haven't read yet. She is reading them first... so they stop taking up space at my house.

Let me know what you think of Girl Friend in a Coma when you finish it.
