Another meme, what.
Yeah yeah I know it's like all I ever do is post memes but I'm too lazy to actually make interesting posts. As you may have been able to tell from previous postings, I dunno. This one is about books, though? It is. Taken from
surskitty even though I didn't actually read hers. Well I mean, I'm going to now because I copied it from her journal and I will read her things as I fill it out, so I'm not being completely horrible.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Strike out the books you have no intention of ever reading, or were forced to read at school and hated.
5) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them.
