From a Friend (scroll down cause this post is fucked up)

I was tagged for this meme (how do pronounce this?) by my buddy Fuego and here it is:

Total number of books:
I don't know. Probably about 125 with me, but a great deal more at my parents' house-- add about 200... let's say 325.

Last book I bought:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling (not that I needed to put the author's name)

The last book I read:
Swing by Rupert Homes

Books I am currently reading:
Swing by Rupert Holmes (which I just have to say, I bought just because it was a mystery that comes with a original cd whose songs help you solve the murder)
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

First memory of book:
I used to love those Spot books with the lift-up flaps. I particularly liked one with a big blue and yellow.

Five books that mean a lot to me:
1. The Phantom Tollbooth by Norman Juster
Could there be a better book in creation? I can't imagine. Maybe one by my friend, Fuego.
2. Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
I opened it once and cried, I saw it, I opened it again and again and again and again and learned that I loved Mr. Miller.
3. The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler
I've always loved mysteries and this book showed me how brilliant they can be.
4. Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon
A book I love more for what it started than for it, but still worth every page.
5. Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl
When I first read this book I learned that you don't have to have everything to have everything (I know that was cheesy, but it's true.

Books looking forward to being consumed:
Anything that presents itself to me... the last Harry Potter book is the only thing I'm honestly looking forward to.

Books that are underrated:
Anything that I love isn't loved enough. Everyone should love the books I love.

Books that I think are overrated:
The Iliad and The Odyssey and The Last of the Mohicans and The Pearl... I can't beleive that I was forced to read these. Some books are classics, others are just... old.

I hearby tag Amber and Zesi... you're it!
