Long ass meme that warrants its own post. Cause it's long ass. But it amused. I totally forgot about some of these books...

Book meme.

Bold those you've read. Italicize those you haven't finished. Underline those you own.

Is this list different from the one that was going round LJ last year? *thinks* I must find the other one, I know I did it back then ^^

you get so many bonus points for Yeats' collected poems *g*

(you must read Midnight's Children O_o!)

I'm...not sure, actually. I didn't do the one last year I don't think. Too long (still too long, but I find procrastinating fun now).

Yeats owns, man. I visited his grave when I was in Ireland, which gave me the urge to light a cigar and jote down lines on yellowed paper.

What's Midnight's Children about?

*Yeats envy*
Unfortunately my trip to Ireland didn't include that ares *sighs* I almost bought the Innisfree perfume, though :D

Midnight's Children is... about many things O_o it's magical realism at its best. It's about the history of independent India, in a way, with the supernatural mixed in it; a history of a families. The plot's very rich and twisted and the language is great, and I have a hard time describing something that's pure art *g*
It was one of the few books in my LIt classes I liked so much that I had to own them *g*
Now I think I must buy a copy of the Satanic Verses because the excerpts the Lit guy gave us are not enough for me ^_^;

Oooh...sounds neat. I have this deep love of books about/set in India. It's the Bollywood fan in me. I'll have to look into that and add it to my list. Which is growing alarminly long. Not that I MIND or anything...
