Stolen from everyone, but I used some of [livejournal.com profile] onceupon's formatting for this:



The ones I have read are bold, the ones I started but couldn't finish have been italicized, and the ones I couldn't stand have been struck through. I added an asterisk to those I have read more than once. Some of these I haven't read in a while and should really re-read.

I love to read, can you tell?

It makes me so sad that so many "best sellers" these days are just terrible, horrible, no good pieces of so-called literature. It gets harder and harder to go to the bookstore and find a "new" book to read! Thank goodness for the classics. :)
