For those that may not know (I had to look it up) here is the definition of MEME:

Meme: an information pattern, held in an individual’s memory, which is capable of being copied to another individual’s memory.

When used online it usually means a series of questions that you answer then ask others to do the same.

It’s an interesting social experiment, and makes for some interesting “backwards” web surfing.

Well I’ve been tagged by the MEME phenomenon by Mikal over at Belicove.com

This one is book related.

Here are my answers!

1. Estimate the total number of books you’ve owned in your life.

Wow.

No Idea.

Story books as a kid … (although my parents may have paid for them … many .. hundreds easily)

text books as a student… (nine semesters… easily 100 if workbooks and “supplemental readings” count)

…and everything in between.

If you count all the technical reference books I buy/read/use for computer/web work..t

he grand total must be 1-2 k

2. What’s the last book you bought?

Hmmm.. I belive it was a book on wine actually.

3. What’s the last book you read?

Oddly it wasn’t about wine. (I’ve not read that one yet)

I think it was a poker book.

I’ve “spot read” a number of books recently.

4. List 5 books that mean a lot to you.

- A bio of Mario Andretti (a childrens’ book.. I was very young)

- “In Cold Blood” by Truman Capote (that book will stay with you a while)

- “Grapes of Wrath” Forced reading in High school.. and very worth it.

- All the “choose your own adventure” books I read as a kid.

- Title escapes me. Book about a kid who gets lost in the wilderness after a plane crash… what was that one??
