Stole this from someone in my network list. Happy World Book Day, everyone! Support your local library by borrowing a bagful of books today.

The book I am reading:
The Death of Achilles by Boris Akunin. It's the fourth in a detective series set in turn-of-the-century Russia. I am loving this series; hero Erast Fandorin is part Sherlock Holmes and part Poirot, and now apparently in this book, part ninja. Interspersed among the crimes are great bits of humor; Akunin has a light, witty touch that brightens the characters and the sometimes dark plots.

The book I am writing:
Heh. Still working on TTBtM, my 2009 nano. I'm in the process of re-writing the opening again, which is probably the worst thing I could do at this point. I really need to finish a draft, not constantly re-start one.

The book I love most:
That's impossible to say. There are so many books that I love: The Last Unicorn, The Orphan Tales, Winter Rose, Wuthering Heights, Lady Audley's Secret...

The last book I received as a gift:
China Mieville's Kraken, from Pete. Haven't read it, but am planning to start it soon.

The last book I gave as a gift:
I think that was Murakami Haruki's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, which I gave to my mom for Christmas.

The nearest book on my desk:
Two books for school: Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management and HTML, XHTML & CSS.

The last book I bought for myself:
Last week was the annual used book sale at the church on 6th, so I came home with two bags of books. One of the cool ones I found among the piles was Love Intrigues of Royal Courts by Thorton Hall, circa 1910.
