Total Number of Books I Own:
About five hundred or more (growing at a book a week)

Last book I bought:
Its not about the Bike by Lance Armstrong

Last Book I Read:
Currently reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe & Its not about the Bike by Lance Armstrong (I like to read more than a book at a time, unless I am aiming to finish a book in one sitting, which I rarely do these days). Finished Maximum City by Suketu Mehta (If you like Bombay like I do, you’ll like it)

Five Books That Mean a Lot to Me:
The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger (helped me get through an important phase in life),
Calvin & Hobbes’ Snowman Collection - Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons (This one is linked to an important memory in life) ,
Mahabharatha by Veda Vyasa – incl The Bhagavad Gita (doesn’t matter if it is just the Amar Chitra Katha version, although one must read the Radhakrishnan version),
Practical Vedanta by Swami Vivekananda (part of the The Complete Works - Vol II),
Ramayana by Valmiki (the characters of Sri Rama & Hanuman are obviously characters that touch our lives)

Tag five people and have them do this on their blogs:
Anti, Sivani (on record saying that she dislikes these memes/tags, etc), Krishna Hegde, Sweety & Megha (the last two haven’t blogged for more than a month and I am eager to see both of them do so)

I am a sucker for books and hence am propagating this, as it is always interesting to see what other people have to say, despite having been thru a similar one earlier
