willow_redWell, I was going to hit the gym tonight, but as it's nearly 9:00 and iTunes is trying to crash, it's time for that book meme that's going around instead.
Book meme thing. 106 books below are on "unread" list on LibraryThing. Key:
Bold - read
Italics - couldn't finish (I'm also using as didn't finish for whatever reason)
Strike - hated
* Asterisk - read more than once
underline - on "to read" pile
Since I rarely stop reading a book in the middle with no intention of returning to it, I'll use the italics to indicate books I only read part of for other reasons. Also, the underline will indicate books I'd like to read someday, even if they aren't on my immediate reading list, per se.
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Anna Karenina
Crime and Punishment
Catch-22 - Been recommended many times
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Wuthering Heights
The Silmarillion - I'm sure I will hit another Tolkien phase one of these days
Life of Pi : a novel
The Name of the Rose
Don Quixote - Read bits of it in Spanish class, though we used a modern version, rather than the original. Guess that means I'm not hard core
Moby Dick - I was never that interested in this one, but now that I hear that the entire first chapter is about etymology...maybe someday I'll be that big of a nerd, but not today
Ulysses
The Odyssey
Pride and Prejudice
Jane Eyre - I don't plan on getting any closer to this than The Eyre Affair
A Tale of Two Cities - I really enjoyed this book back in high school. I might reread someday, when I decide to forgive Dickens for David Copperfield
The Brothers Karamazov - I've only read the bits that were published as The Grand Inquisitor
Guns, Germs, and Steel: the fates of human societies - Hey, this is a modern book
War and Peace - One that is not on my shelf, wow!

Cloud Atlas
The Confusion
Lolita

The Aeneid - Read bits in Western Civ in high school
Watership Down - Read this in 6th grade, and I really don't remember it, so a reread would be a good idea
Gravity's Rainbow - Ugh, freaking Pynchon
The Hobbit - Again, someday I'll get back on a Tolkien kick
White Teeth
Treasure Island
David Copperfield - I still haven't forgiven Dickens for this one being his favorite
The Three Musketeers
Geez, this list makes me look half-illiterate. I read lots of books! Just not the ones on this list, it seems...
