Book Meme

Last book I bought: That is a really tough one since I have had to get my book buying under control. I have so many partially finished books I decided I wasn't allowed to get any new ones until I finished them all. The most recent one I remember buying is The Information by Martin Amis. It was a replacement copy since I lost my original copy during university. I have received others more recently as presents.

Last book I read:
the last book I finished reading was The Five Love Languages
by Dr. Gary Chapman. I finished it last week.

Book I am reading now:
Brief History of Infinity: The Quest to Think the Unthinkable by Brian Clegg. It is a little mind-boggling so you can't read a lot at a time.

Next book I plan to read:
There are a couple that I have started that I wanted to finish. I probably will finish reading The Golden Ratio : The Story of PHI, the World's Most Astonishing Number by Mario Livio.

Five books that mean a lot to me:
(in no particular order)
1. In School by Ken Dryden
2. I Want to Go Home! by Gordon Korman
3. The Bible (of course)
4. Introducing Fractal Geometry by Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon. All I have to say is as John Archibald Wheeler, protege of Niels Bohr, friend of Albert Einstein and mentor of Richard Feynman has said, “No one will be consider scientifically literate tomorrow, who is not familiar with fractals.”
5. Breakfast at Tiffany's : A Short Novel and Three Stories by Truman Capote. I used to love the movie until I read the real story. The movie was accurate of the book except it left out the beginning and end (which changes everything). There was no happily ever after.

I want to hear from you now.
