From Carol’s Blog:
Bold the books you have read. Italicize the books you plan to read. Cross out those you plan never to read.

You haven’t read 1984 and Animal Farm? And you call yourself an avid reader….. How can you?
Hahaha… but seriously you should read those…. Orwell is King… Oh yeah and Marquez is bloddy brilliant as well….
you should totally read memoirs of a geisha. and i think ender’s game is a book you’d enjoy too.
Weird. I was browsing through your books category when I came across this list. It rang a bell and after some thinking I remember putting more or less the same one on my blog in April 2006 (http://dailydog.be/archives/421). It’s funny how these things change too when passing them on again and agian.
