theatokosThinking about books lately. Which to ship? Which can be gotten rid of? Adam and I have decimated our collection. Today we took three boxes to the used book store. This is the second trip there this year.

bravenewcentury's LJ today.
The book that’s been on your shelves the longest.
That has to be May Gibb's The Complete Adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. My aunt in Australia gave it to me for Christmas in 1975. But I also have some of my mother's childhood book. The oldest book I have is a 1920s edition of Jack London's Essays of Revolt.
A book that reminds you of something specific in your life (a person, a place, a time)
Pierre Berton's Klondike Fever reminds me of hiking the Chilkoot Trail (1999).
A book you acquired in some interesting way
Oh I don't know.
The book that’s been with you to the most places.
Probably the Bible. But I have carried Pearl S Buck's Dragonseed and Hesse's Siddhartha around for a long time.
The most recent addition to your shelves.
Four or five books by Mark Miravalle for my paper. Also, a brand new book on Mary, Mother of God (can't see the author or complete title from where I'm sitting).
Your current read, your last read and the book you’ll read next.
Currently I'm reading The Magic Pudding to Bennett. I'm on Vol. 5 of Alan Moore's Promethea series. I'm also re-reading Mary: New Century Theology by Sarah Jane Boss for "school." I recently finished Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (so good!). Next up, I've got to read those Miravalle books. For Bennett, I think I'll read Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
