Bold those you’ve read. Italicize those you haven’t finished/have only read excerpts. Underline those you own. And then add a few of your own šŸ™‚

The sad thing is, this probably isn’t even a noticeable fraction of the number of books that I have read. I’m probably the only person whose mother actually limited the number of times we could go to the library with the accusation that I read too much. With med school, that’s hardly the case anymore.

Looking over the list, I definitely see spots of weakness in my reading (and a whole slew of books that I will never read, on purpose). I’m dying to read “Wicked” and “I Capture the Castle”. I need to finish the “The Eyre Affair” books, since I heard that the second’s even better than the first. Haven’t read any Terry Prackett or Neil Gaiman, which I know is a crime. I’m strong on the children’s books, mostly likely because it’s been my goal to read all of the Newberry Medal and Honors books (all the way from the 1920s)–and I’m probably not even half way done.

  • Why are you discontent? -curious face-

  • Hehe. Your mom’s funny. What a way of punishment. Sounds so ‘Gilmore Girls’ to me.

    I want to read everything in the world. Alas, for I have not read nearly enough. I scanned through your list, checked off ‘The Hobbit’ and then, nothing. Granted, I didn’t look through it very thoughrally, but you definitely have me one-upped. I’m very behind in my goal to read everything. Everything being quite big, in my estimation. Do you have any particular suggestions for me to get further started? Miss Bookworm you.
