Another 100 book meme (snagged from lebo-superman)

Another 100 books meme.

Bold the ones you've read COMPLETELY, italicize the ones you've read part of. Watching the movie or the cartoon doesn't count. Abridged versions don't count either. BTW, according to the BBC if you've read 7 of these, you are above the average. (My comments are in parentheses.)

2 The Lord of ( Read more... )

It looks like you've read some good stuff that I haven't.

My wife loves Le Miserables, so we've seen the Liam Neeson version of the movie several times. I tried to read the book, and felt like it bogged down in excessive descriptive detail.

Haven't seen the movie, but am familiar with music from "Les Mis'", the musical; a daughter and her friend were part of a winning high school choir that sang songs from "Les Miserables" and "Phantom of the Opera". They did a superbe job!

I like Charles Dickens style (very descriptive) and really enjoy "Tale of Two Cities" (heh, same era as "Les Mis'") and "A Christmas Carol", as well as others. But "The Hobbit" and "Chronicles of Narnia" are imaginative and have lots of action, so they're favourites, too.

However, there are dozens of other good books that they haven't even mentioned. Don't you agree?
