That book meme

I've been wanting to do this for a while. I may not be terribly regular about it since classes start next week, and once students arrive they find ways of monopolising all my time. I'm always excited about books, but I'm particularly excited at the moment because Amazon says my copy of Michael Ondaatje's Warlight will arrive by June 1st. (I'll probably find lots to say about Ondaatje in the course of the meme, so I won't go into specifics now.)

Nicked the meme from wendelah1; all questions under the cut. Book-lovers, please consider doing the meme. I'd love to see what everyone else likes to read.

Before I start, a prelude: one of the reasons I love Rory/Dean from Gilmore Girls so much is that Dean falls for Rory because she's so addicted to books.
