When someone actually said that I’ve been tagged, the only thing that came to my mind at that time was WWE (though I dont really watch it). After I’ve learned that what she meant was just to copy and paste the questionaires and have it posted in my blog (with my own answers for sure), here’s my short entry to that.

1)What is the total number of books you own?
Most of my books went MIA, and I don’t really keep records of what I own (and who borrow my books). I can say it’s over a hundred, and if it is to include comics that I use to collect, then the number counts to over a thousand.

2)What is the last book you bought?
As in previous blog, I bought 10 books at once and haven’t bought myself any new ones afterward. And among these 10, I don’t know which one goes last to the counter when I actually bought it.

3)What is the last book you read?
I finished reading The Search, a business book by John Battelle.

4)What are you currently reading?
If it’s a book, then my answer would be the MySQL book that I recently bought. Taking some time since it’s not just for read, but also to try what it contains. But I actually read online contents a lot more than books, but I’m not sure if it counts in this ‘book’ tag.

5)What are the 5 books that mean a lot to you?
1- Al-Quran
2- Tafseer
3 - Can I skip this part?

6)What book(s) do you wish to buy next?
Whatever that I might find interesting when I’m at the bookstore.

7)What book(s) have you owned for so long but never read them?
Some ‘jawi’ based books that I actually pay attention to the one giving the lectures rather than the book. Bought the books since the lecturer request everybody to personally have the books, and didn’t read it since I’m not good with ‘jawi’.

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
Can only think of 2 for now;
1. Bro Adli; borrowed some interesting books from him and I believe he has a lot more in his collection.
2. Bro Shaiful; he has a library at home, but now since he’s at cardiff pursuing his PhD, I don’t know what books has he added to his collection.

9) Your books collection in one picture:

A collection of mostly unpopular and boring computer books, which fails to attract people to borrow them and in the end, being safe from missing at other people’s hand as most of it’s counterparts..

Newer and oftenly used books has their own places, not on this shelves and not shown here for some reason

A bit off-topic:
Some 5 months collection of scrapped papers, which I believe were part of my reading, to be sent to the recycling centre. Recycle, keep the environment safe for us, and our childrens.
