and you shall all judge my reading taste

Sorry for the lack of updates, during the week I'm knackered by the time I get back in my room and all I crave is sleep. :( A meme'll cheer me up!

Snagged from leopion and, probably, you. :)

Have you read more than 6 of these books? The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here

Deny it all you like, my dear, but you are more bookish than I am even taking the age into account. I swear I haven't hit 20.

And yay, you've corrected the list XD

Thank you. *bows* Jane Eyre is a recent addition though: thank you uni! ;)

I wanted to correct more!

I love seeing the different books everybody reads, especially when you choose different books than me.

As for Moby Dick, it's painful to read, but I was quite determined to finish it, and it gets better in the last chapters, IIRC.

And I don't know how you could love Madame Bovary. Emma was a stupid, STUPID selfish person I couldn't stand (which is my problem: if I don't like the main character, I can't like the book) to read about. It's so funny to see that you loved it!

Because books are more... time-consuming than films, I feel like they tell you more about people. A list about all the films I've ever watched wouldn't have the same impact.

My mum is obsessed with Moby Dick, and I have a feeling mentions of it crop up almost everywhere, unnoticed by me. Maybe when I'm really, really bored, I'll end up picking it up and reading it. Maybe. No promises here.

Ahahahah! Yes, I do agree on Emma, it's not because of her that I like it, but because of her poor husband. He's the best character in the whole book and every time he's not included in the description/action I usually skip to where he is. Allons-y Charles! :)
