 The famous book meme.....
Gakked from madam_minnie

These are the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users (as of today). As usual, bold what you have read, italicize what you started but couldn’t finish, and strikethrough what you couldn’t stand. Add an asterisk* to those you’ve read more than once. Underline those on

i have read like only six on this list.
what a testament to my literary prowness.

*pout*

[tjs_whatnot]

Hey, don't sweat it! They're on this list for a reason...no one has read them. I just went through a phase where I made myself read things that were good for me.

So, what were the six?

[dulcamatrix]

One Hundred Years of Solitude
Wicked (giggle)
The Grapes of Wrath (read this... amazing)
Angela's Ashes
The Mists of Avalon
The Catcher in the Rye
Watership Down
The Hobbit (actually, i listened to it on cd)
and i read bits and pieces of Don Quixote in a class.
actually, that is where i picked my LJ name, Dulcamatrix... i loved the name Dulcinea, but it was taken on lj. so i made one up around it. don't you just love the idea that there is someone out there lamenting and pining for you? and you have no idea who, and never will?
it makes me mushy.
lol.

so i guess that makes eight books, not seven.
and one of them is WICKED. goodlord.

I have never read Don Quioxte but really want to. I've had so many people say that I must...and it's usually after they've read something that I've written...so I have this terrible fear that I have been ripping off stuff from it for years without knowing it!

lol.
unconscious larceny.

lol.

i want to read it too.
the whole thing. don quixote was one messed up dude.
i like them that way.
no preconceived notions.
*smirk*

ps

i have Vanity Fair and In Cold Blood on my "to read" pile at this very moment.
and i will get to them, after i finish my smutty historical romance novel.
lol.

[tjs_whatnot]

I tried to get through Vanity Fair and I just couldn't do it. I might have had overload as I had just finished a few Jane Austen books before that and there is only so much countryside and vindicative, polite girls I can take in one sitting...maybe another time...

[dulcamatrix]

POLITELY VINDICTIVE!!!
LOLOLOL!

if i'm not mistaken... couldn't one also call that passive aggressive??

*snerk*
