1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Strike out the books you have no intention of ever reading, or were forced to read at school and hated.
5) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)
27/100. Not too bad given that much of it is the sort of literature that really isn't to my taste. I wouldn't have read "Of Mice and Men" if it weren't for school. Much of the classic literature I have read hasn't made it on the list, Where's M.R. James? The Phantom of the Opera? If I'm going to read Hugo, I'd rather Hunchback, than Les Mis.
