Bold those you've read. Italicize those you haven't finished. Underline those you own.
Adding new one - star if you've seen movie version or play.

You've read A Wrinkle in Time!!! I absolutely loved that book when I was growing up and never had anyone to share it with. I'll maybe re-read it with Jackson when he's older. I was in Blockbuster the other day and saw a movie version. Don't know when it was done. Have you ever seen it?

You've read High Fidelity! Isn't it hilarious? I loved it.

The old man and the sea escaped my notice, I've read that one too. Quite beautiful.

yeah High Fidelity is one of my fave Nick Hornby books. He's also one of my favorite modern writers. The book itself is so great b/c it really takes you into the male mind and why they act the way they do. Check out the movie with John Cusack - its actually a quite faithful adaptation except that its set in Chicago and not England.

Yes, I love the book and the movie (I have the DVD) and the soundtrack is great too!

Sarah, I've seen the movie too, and it's really good. I loved it! Much better, I suppose, than the American version of Fever Pitch.

Ive never actually finished it - i started reading it when i was a young teen but for some reason i didnt finish it or get very far into it. Im not even sure where the book is at moment - i know i have it. I'll have to pick it up again one day. I remember there was a miniseries made a few years back - i saw the promos on tv. Never saw the movie though.
