I'm tagging myself, darn it.

Total number of books owned: Couldn't tell you. I read a lot.

Last book bought: I just bought two books published by Fence Press and one by Verse Press. I honestly can't tell you the titles. I just saw them on the used bookshelf at Hastings and thought, huh, I've been wanting to read more new poetry.

Last book read: I'm re-reading the latest Harry Potter. I just re-read Coal by Audre Lorde so that I could talk about it intelligently with my students.
