My first attempt at picking up a meme, whatever that means, from Flop Eared Mule

Total number of books I’ve owned:
Thousands. I keep buying, loaning, swapping and sending to 2nd hand shops

The last book I bought:
The History and Description of Sydney Harbour - PR Stephenson, at a church fete

The last book I read:
The Salmon of Doubt - Douglas Adams. It's basically a print out of what was on the hard drives of his beloved Macs when he died. Mainly newspaper columns, musings and several partial drafts of a new novel.

Five books that mean a lot to me:
The Complete Asian Cookbook - Charmaine Solomon. Taught me the art of making curry. Essential life skill No. 1
Rolling Stones. The cover has fallen off so I can't tell who the author is. It has a chronology of the Stones career, album reviews and most importantly, the lyrics and chords for all their songs up to Sticky Fingers. I taught myself to play guitar by strumming along to these. I reckon Brian and I could busk every single one (with varying degrees of tunefulness). Essential life skill No.2
Here' Luck - Lennie Lower. Makes me laugh just thinking about it. Essential life skill No.3
The Macquarie Dictionary. Its there, I use it. Essential life skill No.4
The Naked Ape - Desmond Morris. Before that I wanted to be a zoologist, afterwards I studied anthropology.

Pass it on to: Anyone.
