Total number of books I've owned:

500+. I've been trying to get rid of them. They take up too much space, all my shelves are double stacked.

 The last book I bought: 

Here's the thing. I'm not buying a lot of books anymore because I'm not reading a lot of books anymore. Two reasons. I no longer have a train commute, which was the only time of the day I could read. The second reason is the fact that since (and for some time before) I got diagnosed with diabetes, I tend to fall asleep the minute I start reading. Whether on public transport, or sat on the couch, my eyes close very quickly. I used to read in bed for hours, but I can't do that anymore either.

The last book I read:

Today I picked up Angel - After the Fall #7 and Buffy - Season 8 #14 and read them at A-Fusion, a Chinese bar/restaurant I go to a lot. It's two doors up from the comic shop. I don't remember which novel was the last one I read. It may have been  John Banville's The Sea, or Marc Almond's In Search of the Pleasure Palace. I know I never finished Adriaan van Dis' De Wandelaar. The last book I really enjoyed reading was Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveller's Wife.

Five books that mean something to me:

Roger Zelazny - Amber series.
Can't think of #5.
