I’ve Been Tagged!

1. Total number of books I’ve owned.

How can I be expected to answer this question? The number of books that have passed through my hands over all of my years must exceed a bajillion.

Seriously, it’s well into the hundreds.

2. The last book I bought.

Financial Accounting – Third Canadian Edition. Vomit.

The last real book that I bought was The Last Word and the Word After That (three times) by Brian McLaren.

3. The Last Book I read.

Hmm… I think it would have to be The Story We Find Ourselves In. I’m currently plugging through The Last Word… and Blue Like Jazz though.

4. 5 books that mean something to me.

Oi this is going to be tough…

1. A New Kind of Christian: Completely opened my eyes to a very cool perspective on Christianity. In some ways, it put my mind on paper, but it blew me away in many others.

2. The Alchemist: A short little book about personal destiny. It certainly has a lot of religious undertones to it, but the story reads like a kid’s book; I read it in a couple of hours, I think. I really, really enjoyed it.

3. Life of Pi: Not a math book. Again, this book has many levels of meaning, but its story was captivating by itself. I’d like to re-read this in the near future.

4. The Story We Find Ourselves In: While I didn’t really like it the first time I read it, I saw so much more when I read it again. It really inspired some deep thoughts.

5. The Bible: I’m sorta cheesing out on this one because it really does go without saying that this book means something to me. As I try to live out my faith each day, the stories in this book serve to challenge me and bestow wisdom to me.

5. Tag 5 people and request they fill this out on their journals.

OK.
