book meme from bunny

I like books and book memes. Thanks to Mayette for being the surfer that she is. Tee-hee!

The rules are simple. In the following list of a hundred books, bold the ones you’ve read, mark in blue the ones you want to read, mark in red the ones you don’t want to read, italicize the ones you’ve never heard of, and don’t do anything with the ones you feel indifferent towards or that you wouldn’t mind reading but aren’t dying to.
