Books.

Some questions, from marnameow. In her words, Have some questions, and take 'em away and answer them in your own journals.

• What are you currently reading?
  No books at the moment, only computer magazines. The last book I finished was probably The Soul of a New Machine, which I got from my Secret Santa.
• How long have you been reading it (or them)? How much longer do you think it will take you to read it?
  I read it in, oh, about ten days? Don't remember.
• Is it a gobble-in-one-session sort of book, or a read slowly through book, or a pick a page at random now and then book?
  I used to read it on my way to and from work. So about half an hour at a go.
• Do you ration books and force yourself to read them slowly? What books have you done this with recently?
  No, not really. But I usually end up reading them fairly slowly as I usually read them while travelling, not so much when I'm at home.
• Do you sometimes *wish* that you'd rationed a book when you get to the end of it?
  Don't think so.
• What was the last book you bought?
  Bought myself? Oh, this one's hard. Perhaps a used copy of the Shavian edition of Androcles and the Lion.
• Do you know what book you're going to buy next?
  No. I imagine it'll be a programming book of some sort, though.
• How many borrowed books are sitting on your shelves?
  About ten; Terry Pratchett books I borrowed from Meike.
• When will they get given back?
  After I've found the time to read them. Which could take months at the current rate, perhaps even a year or two.
• How many books of yours are currently on other people's shelves?
  I don't think I've lent any of my books to anyone else just now.
• When do you expect them to return?
  n/a
