1) Total number of books owned?

I dunno, really... 200 maybe? I used to own more, but there wasn't room for them all in this apartment, and I'm still pruning down a lot of them.

2) The last book I bought?
I bought four all at the same time (and it only cost me $4.20!):

The Barsoom Project by Larry Niven and Steven Barnes
Children of the Shaman by Jessica Rydill
Divine Intervention by Ken Wharton
Knight Fantastic, an anthology edited by Martin Greenberg and John Helfers

3) The last book I read?

Children of the Shaman by Jessica Rydill. Very interesting book, an alternate universe where magic is real, shamans abound, and a people that seem to be jewish are oppressed by a group that seems to be christian in a german-like society, but with subtle differences in every group. Oh, and the father of the main character is bi, a trait that apparently all shamans share in this world, though she is too young to have such feelings yet.

4) Five books that mean a lot to me?

Gah... only FIVE?? That's not enough!!!!
Umm....

Flight in Yiktor by Andre Norton (a great artist was lost when she passed, she will be missed greatly.)
Pegasus in Flight by Anne McCaffrey
Magic's Pawn by Mercedes Lackey (this book gave me insights into my self and sexuality that are still valuable to me today.)
The Magic and the Healing by Nick O'Donohoe
So You Want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane
