Meme Vol. I

Wednesday, August 09, 2006

I'm not usually one to do a lot of memes, but the bibliophile inside me couldn't resist this one...

Use the following instructions for the list of books:

Bold the ones you've read.
Italicise books you would like to read but haven't yet
Italicise and bold books you're currently reading
Bold and strike through books you tried to read and abandoned out of disinterest
Underline and bold books that are favorites
Add four recent reads to the end.

And the meme commences...
