When tired, play games...
I have things to tell, but I'm tired. So, why not a few quiz-meme thingies...
I see repetition coming our way...
1. Total number of books I've owned:
Don't be silly. I'm sure it's past a thousand...and I now live with a history PhD. We're out of bookshelves and have boxes to go.
2. Last book I bought:
HUNTER'S MOON by Lori Handeland
3. Last book I read:
CRYSTAL DRAGON by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller
4. 5 books that mean a lot to me:
This is also crazed, but I will try and name some, if only because I've learned a few that will go on my reading list.
1) LORD OF THE RINGS. I was nine when I discovered them. I haven't gotten tired yet, and lost count of the re-reads at 30.
2) THE GOOD MASTER and THE SINGING TREE by Kate Seredy
The first introduces the reader to pre-industrial life on the Hungarian plains pre-WWI. The second takes the children, their families and others tossed upon the shore of their farm through the war and out again. The first book that made me, as a child, realize that there were always two sides to a war, and that "enemy" was a relative word. Wonderful characters, gorgeous drawings.
3) PERSUASION and PRIDE & PREJUDICE by Jane Austin
My goal as a writer is to still be read almost 200 years later, with delight. Jane is my companion and my idol. Ah, to share tea and scones...
4) The Peter Whimsey mysteries of Dorothy L. Sayers.
My introduction to literate mystery--too late to try and attend Oxford, but the books are favorite re-reads.
5) KIM by Kipling
I think I learned how to write from reading Kipling, for good or ill...
5. Tag 5 people and have them fill this out in their LJs:
Okay--who hasn't been hit?

 | You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.
