This entry is not a meme. I don't do memes. Seriously, who wants to read about the "ABCs of me" or see a picture of my kitchen junk drawer? So please know that the questions below, sent by Splurge the bad-ass Montreal weblogger, are part of a survey. Not a meme. Clear?
Because I love books and because Splurge is kinda scary, here are my Amazon-referral-pimping answers.
How many books do you read a year?
I've kept a book list since 2001 and was averaging about 28 books yearly until I started a weblog. In 2004 I only read 19 books (and a shitload of magazines).
What was the last book you bought?
Out, Natsuo Kirino
What is the last book you read?
Balls, by Gorman Bechard. I found this 1995 book on The Strand's dollar rack and was intrigued by its description:
It's the year 2000, and baseball has changed dramatically. Dan Quayle is the new commissioner, the Yankees have moved to New Jersey, and the Supreme Court has ruled that women can plan in the major leagues. Enter Louise "Balls" Gehrig, sporting baby blue eyes and a smile that can steal a heart almost as quickly as she can steal a base. As first baseperson for the expansion Manhattan Meteorites, she's about to break baseball's gender barrier and change America's pastime forever.
Doesn't that sound fun? Balls had the potential to be a great fluff read, but I have to agree with the Publishers Weekly review on Amazon:
Bechard knows a lot more about baseball statistics than about creating original characters and a believable plot… the book is neither clever enough to be funny nor insightful enough to be thought-provoking.
List five books that mean a lot to you or that you particularly enjoyed.
Zorba the Greek, Nikos Kazantzakis.
King Arthur stuff: The Mists of Avalon and The Once and Future King
Classics that are somehow relevant to life in 2005: Fahrenheit 451, Catch 22, 1984, and Frankenstein
The Best of Simple, Langston Hughes
Charlotte's Web, E.B. White
Who will you pass this on to?
I'm shy, so I won't tag anyone. Does that ruin the whole thing?

Personal coaching follow-ups
With the exception of one problem client*, my life coaching experiment is going well. As promised, I have feedback for those who took advantage of the free special.
Viggo Mortensen can't get a date with his favorite blogger. Sorry, Viggo, but you are yesterday's news. I've moved on.
Yoko wants advice on how to become a shepherd. Yoko, it is essential to forge a strong connection with your future charges. You wouldn't become a nanny without first meeting the kids, right? I recommend a pilgrimage to the 9th Street DiBruno Brothers, where you can ask one of the hot male cheese experts to let you sample the sheep's milk wares. Because I'm a life coach who goes the extra mile, I will accompany you on this journey.
Very metal needs clarification on the infield fly rule. Very metal, you seem like an intelligent guy who is perfectly capable of using the many Internet resources at your disposal. Obviously, a psychological barrier prevents you from fully absorbing the infield fly rule, so technical elaborations are useless. Instead, you need to look within yourself. Do you have residual trauma from being forced to play uber-left field in little league? Did your childhood pet get hit by a car when chasing a baseball? Find the barrier that prevents enlightenment, and you will understand the infield fly rule!
Scott wonders what can go up a chimney down but can't go down a chimney up. An umbrella! It's a good thing this is a free trial, Scott; otherwise, that answer would've cost you a buck and a half.
Finally, Jen, who graduates from law school in May, wants a job. Jen, your timing is excellent. Hang out a shingle and milk the red-hot living will market!
*The problem client is Type E (aka Wade Bloggs), who is trying to get off coffee. I don't know if I can help him.
