Tagged ! Now, I am it !

Navin does the honours by tagging me and therefore putting me in a spot of bother. Would I be able to confess about the skeletons in my closet ? I take a shot :

How many books do I own

Very few, really. Only about 100 or so.

Last book bought

State of Fear by Michael Crichton

Last books read

In reverse chronological order:

1. Age of Kali by William Dalrymple
2. Q&A by Vikas Swarup
3. Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris

Books that mean a lot to me

1. Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth : For impeccable research and the ability to make fiction virtually indistinguishable from fact, there is no one to rival to Forsyth.

2. The Annotated Sherlock Holmes by William Baring-Gould : Not just the stories about the Doctor and the Detective by Conan Doyle, but the excellent, meticulous notes and articles by various Sherlockians and Holmesians make this well-worn tome a worthy addition to my book shelf.

3. Yes Minister/Prime Minister by Jonathan Lynn & Antony Jay : For some reason, I am totally bonkers about this book. I have read, re-read and re-re-read this book about a zillion times(I had just finished reading one episode, when I came online and found the tag from Navin).
