Really?! OK, i read 1/4 of these books. And i read so many more not mentioned below:) and the books on the list are a bit out of blue anyway. But i play any game concerning books.

Does anyone here care to tick off the books on the list she had read, for me? Im curious about what books every person i know reads, what films she/he watches and what

Can't sleep, so be prepared for my babbling :)
I have read 25 or 26 books from the list. J. R. R. Tolkien, all Jane Austen books, Lev Tolstoy, Alexandre Dumas among them. But this list seems a bit random to me. I don't think the quantity should be the main criteria here. The quality of the books should be the right one. Seriously, can you compare, let's say, War and Peace and Da Vinci Code? I wonder if they just named the books that sprang to their minds... But since reading is quite a rare activity these days, I can imagine the reason why Da Vinci Code or HP are on the list - just to enhance the number ;)
As for that nice person you met in the shop. Radiohead has a video film titled 'Meeting People is Easy'. Maybe... Maybe one day you just meet someone in the shop or in the street. A tug on a sleeve would be nice, though :) So accept the appearance of that nice person as a sign, and next time, if you see her or someone as nice as her, maybe just try to approach that person? Just to check if meeting people is really that easy :)

youre my hero, i told you that *hugs* you inspire me to read more. and yes yes, i agree they had to give people a chance here having put in such silly books as Da Vinci Code or The Time Traveler's Wife along with epic classic book:)
thank you for your hearted words about meeting a friend. being on my own doesnt bother me that much actually, it was a weird state of mind i was in yesterday, it was over soon after i clutched a new book in a shop:) but hey, Radiohead telling its easy to meet people? how sange, cause they sing about alienation most of all, i thought. i like how you pick up the most reassuring details, even in the gloomy Radiohead message. i love your approach!

It feels sooooo good to see your name popping up in lj. And before i start on with the books, please never hold back talking in your comments. Unless you feel youre tossing pearls before an ignoramus i feel i am at times. cause i dont know, for instance, Carlos Ruiz Zafon and never came over his peculiar book for kids with sex scenes:) i hope you didnt read his book in the innocent age of a kid yourself
