Book meme, so I can use my reading rabbit icon - hurrah!
1)Total number of books owned:
I think it's about 900 that are mine and not Sandy's. Am torn between going up to the full thousand and culling some so I can move...
2)The last book I bought:
I bought a pile from Barnardo's all at once: The Seventh Raven by Peter Dickinson, The Dramaturges of Yan by John Brunner, Petrified by Barbara Nadel (not good), and The Moving Finger by Agatha Christie.
3) The last book I read: The Moving Finger
4) Five books that mean a lot to me:

4) Five books that mean a lot to me:
- The Dispossessed by Ursula leGuin because it almost totally sums up my political position
- The Blue Hawk by Peter Dickinson because it's weird and beautiful and says something about people's relationship with gods
- The Stone That Never Came Down by John Brunner, because it's optimistic and I'd love to believe it
- Fourth Mansions by R A Lafferty because it's insane and inspired
- Peter's Room by Antonia Forest because it comes from my childhood and talks about how imaginary worlds can drive you a bit mad
