Books!

I hardly ever get tagged for anything so when I do, it’s a momentous occasion. Pete at Great Circle has tagged me for a meme about books.

How many books do you own? 50 or so. I mostly go to the library for books - currently have three out on loan as we speak. (Pete owns 800!!)
What was the last book you read? In The Company Of Soldiers by Rick Atkinson (I’m starting Amsterdam by Ian McEwan today)
What was the last book you purchased? Four Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss
What five books are most meaningful to you? The Bible, Lord of the Rings….. I’d have to look at my bookshelf to answer that one. But I don’t really read advice books. I read for entertainment, not personal growth. As some famous guy said: “Every Christian is educated far beyond their level of obedience.” This is very much true of me - I don’t need to read any more books telling me what to do, I just need to ACT on what I already know.

This is my effort to do so : Search316.

What is your most obscure favorite book? Once again, I wish I was near a bookshelf. I generally read books that come highly recommended so I can’t really remember the last time I read something obscure.

Tags to Mark my bro, Ben my bro, Neil, Tim Y, and…. Chunks and Rosie you don’t have blogs but I’d be interested in your answers if you feel like leaving a comment.

That goes out to anyone else, really.
