I stole this from here.
Meme instructions: Look at the list of books below. Bold the ones you've read, italicize the ones you might read, cross out the ones you won't [I don't actually know how to do this, someone please tell me; I'll just put 'no' beside them...], place an asterick* after the ones on your book shelf, and place (parentheses) around the ones you've never even heard of.
The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown *[I gave it to my father - so he could see how truly bad it was. Plus, I wanted to know why I felt like I'd read it before - only when someone better had written it.]

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - Douglas Adams* [I stole my sister's copy. She didn't notice for years.]

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!
Yes, folks, I really am so inept that these things excite me.
Memoirs of a Geisha should have been a TV miniseries not a book. It's crap. Read Slaughterhouse 5, plus Breakfast of Champions and Mother Night because they are all awesome.
The < s > only made the internet get mad at me. I don't like it when the internet gets mad at me. It makes me feel unloved.
Ummm, yes Mark. Toss 'em over then, I'm trying not to buy books :p
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime and The Lovely Bones, both were awesome reads that I couldnt put down.
I liked Slaughterhouse 5 as well, but not as much as the other two.
