Tagging Along

Claire Wolfe just "book tagged" me.

Wow--I'm honored. Really.

I feel like Garth and Wayne.

How can I decline?

Total number of books I've owned: No idea. It must be in the thousands.

Last book I bought: Easy. I'm wearing the t-shirt as I type.

Last book I read: I just finished it today. And what's this talk about maybe not doing a sequel? You can't just leave me hanging like this!

Five books that mean a lot to me:
[These are not listed in any particular order, and there are many more books that mean a lot to me than just these five. So this list is not fixed.]

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells

The Bible

Prodigal Genius by John J. O'Neill

The Federalist Papers by Publius

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.

Tag five people and have them do this on their blogs:

Jed

Nicki

Matthew

Kevin

Say Uncle

There are many more books and many other bloggers that could have been listed here. This reminds me of a scene from the end of the movie version of The Time Machine where Filby and the housekeeper discover George has returned to the future and has taken three books from his library. They don't know which ones he selected as being the most useful for rebuilding a civilization.

"Which three would you have chosen?" Filby asks.
