Book meme;

I snatched this book meme from kitkii on facebook. I really wanted to do it, but I hate being active on facebook, so I'm posting it here! :D

The BBC thinks folks may have read only 6 of the following 100 books. Betcha we can beat that! Copy this list to your "Notes" section. Bold the titles you've read. Italicize the titles you've read parts of or

i... don't.... read. there are a few Roald Dahl books not listed here that i have read entire books, btw. Matilda, The BFG, George's Marvellous Medicine, Boy. hurrghhh... we read all those in school, during lunch. we also read them in reading class - at lunch, our teacher would read to us when we ate, and in reading class, random students had to read out loud.

anyway.

2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien (holy shit, took me like... 3 or 4 months.)
4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling (started on the 1st book... and quickly remembered why i prefer movies)
6 The Bible (again... thank school...though when i was little, i was kind of interested in the bible... idk why. strange child, i guess. up until i was about 6 or 7, dad used to pray with me every night before bed. yeah, that whole Our Father, who art in heaven etc.)
16 The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien (just snippets... sigh. i fail)
40 Winnie the Pooh - AA Milne (pretty sure it was the whole thing, when i was little)
62 Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov (sis owns the book so... yeah.)
98 Hamlet - William Shakespeare (hello, drama student.)
99 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Roald Dahl (school again... didn't like the book at all. movie was bad too, imo)

3 or 4 months for LOTR?! thats impressive. i've had the books for about 10 years now...and I have made it half way through book one. it's just such a slow read, the tale is amazing...but i can't get through them. i'll just watch the movies instead. 8|

i've only made it through the first two books for harry potter (i didn't really like them to be honest...), but i really want to finish them all...eventually. everyone says once you get through the first two they are really good.

the bible...oh man. i was the same. it was so interesting to me..ideky now. i only ever read the devastating parts of the bible, or the parts about love. 8|
