Book Tag

Booktag

I've been book tagged. So, it is a pleasure to write about something that has always been a great hobby of mine: books.

Total Number of books I own: Wow. I'm not sure exactly. I would guess around 5000.

Last Book I bought: Grimm's Grimmest

Last Book I was gifted: Life Expectancy - Dean Koontz

Last Book I read: The Ocean World - Jacques Cousteau

Five Books that mean a lot to me:

1) War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells - My favorite book of all time.

2) Life of Pi by Yann Martel. A deep book with multiple levels etched with simplicity of words and minimum of fuss. If you did not read this book, you are missing something. One of the best books I have ever come across.

3) The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold - This book truly moved me.

4) The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway - a great story of a man with undying faith in himself and courage to face defeat.

5) Edgar Allan Poe's Complete Tales and Poems - a fantastic storyteller

And, regarding tagging five people, I welcome everyone to pass the torch along.
