Stolen Borrowed from elfinblaze because it looks like a lot of fun.

1) What author do you own the most books by?
I first thought it was Lindsey Davis who I own 19 books by, but double checking reveals I actually own 25 Terry Pratchett books (plus on compendium, plus Good Omens which he co-wrote).

Admittedly we also have about 4 different versions of the bible in our house: NIV, Good News, CEV and the revised KJV. There would have been a ESV too if I hadn't lost my copy :( I must say though that for quite a number of my church friends this kind of thing is not too uncommon.

I've never learnt how to limit my reading... Even with novels I'll tell myself one more chapter and then I'll go to sleep... and after a while I think "this is a really long chapter" only to realise that I've read to the end of the chapter and kept going for another chapter and a half...

Yeah, I'm with you. I'd much rather buy books... Although borrowing from you isn't too bad, because if I need to borrow it a second time I can do it easily. I'm always willing to take books from people who are getting rid of parting with them. Even you.
*sighs* Remind me to show you a picture of Manguel's library that he has in a former French Barn. It's really cool, and I almost have the ambition to have one just like him.
There are some books however I'm not willing to buy. If I do ever end up reading Twilight I will NOT be buying it.

I tend to read "one short story before bed" when I'm really tired, so I have no problem putting the book down and rolling over and going to sleep. Also, short stories (usually) have conclusions, so it's a bit hard to continue reading without noticing. Just don't read the short story I linked in my version of this as a "last one before bed" because I did, and then was afraid to turn the light off. =/

And now I'm thinking of the Doctor Who episode with the Library Planet. I want that kind of library! (I also want to go to Bookholm.)

And I didn't buy Twilight. My sister did. ^_^
