BOOK TAG......Got tagged several days ago by PARAG
Total number of books I own: Somewhere between 30-40... the newer ones are here, classic bestsellers are back in India.
Last book I bought: Buying really really depends on my economic condition (being a student, balance is very necessary especially during summers :-) and also since most of the books are readily available in one of the biggest libraries in the US, our very own Perry-Castaneda Library (the PCL) sometimes the rationing rules the enthusiasm to buy books.
Even then I do buy books, the last four I bought(oldest to recent) are Da Vinci Code, Angels&Demons, Digital Fortress and Prey. Calvin&Hobbes is a regular buy. I also cannot resist any good supplementary National Grographic recommendation, especially if its on space, wildlife or Egypt and the pyramids.
Last book I read: Currently reading Eye of the Needle by Ken Follett....really good, had left reading it half way, but surprisingly remembered the whole story when I picked it up again....so didn't have to start over again.
Five Books That Mean a Lot to Me: My regular subscription of Sound&Vision and National Geographic, Fountain Head and We The Living by Ayn Rand, all issues of Adventures of TinTin and Asterix. Most books don't mean to me much, in the sense that I don't take a philosophical meaning out of it....but I love it when novels are informative.....like Digital Fortress was an excellent source of how encryption is done.
