I’ve Been TaggedSweet Purgy Wurgy had tagged me after being himself tagged by Jackos and Jakos has been tagged herself by bla bla bla who was tagged by bla bla, and don’t ask me what all that means because honestly I have no idea. All I could understand is that it’s a cyber thingy where whoever is tagged is supposed to have a post about the following:
Number of books I own:
Very hard to tell, I don’t think I could count them, let’s see; I have three bookshelves of the size (1m X 2.20m) + two book shelves of the size (3.5m X 2.20m) full of books, some of them overlapping, not counting the ones which are scattered in all my kids rooms which were borrowed from me. Now you do the estimate. Oh and I did not include the ones invading my sleeping quarters nor the storage.
Last book I read:
Love, Sex & Tragedy by Simon Goldhill; it’s about how the ancient world shapes our modern life.
Five books that meant a lot ( no particular order):
Actually there are more than five and you can find some of them on my Favorite books listed on my profile, add to that
1- Love, Sex & Tragedy by Simon Goldhill.
2- Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

6- Climbing Chamundi Hill by Ariel Glucklich

Purgy

Jackos
Hardship only makes man stronger, in novels we love them, but in real life! Hmmmmm, they’re very hard to deal with.
DJ
Getting to discover the secret power of the East? Heheheee, well, I recommend Love, Sex & Tragedy; a synonymous in Greek and Roman civilization, I was in awe all the way through this book, a real eye opener to many things we consider abnormal today ;)
Of course :)
Now I recommend you to read two books in the following order..
1. Paradise by Judith McNaught
2. Perfect by Judith McNaught
And just so that we are understanding each other.. hehe Both Matt and Zach are mine mine mine mine :P
Right on sis; I just placed the order….
And thanks for the warning, I should know better than stepping in your shoes LOL, in any case, don’t worry; I don’t do taken ones ;)
