Book Meme

Because I too should not be procrastinating. And the situation in Burma is overwhelming my paper writing skillz at the moment. Meme under the cut.

Bold what you've read, italicize what you've started but haven't finished, put an asterisk if you've read it twice and a strike through if you never want to read it.

I actually like Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. It's a good book, but it's just so long. Three Musketeers in French class was fun. I sorta remember reading it aloud with each of us doing a different part? Anyways, speaking of French class, I found the other day, while sorting through our far too big video collection, a tape labeled "Celia and Lisette's Final Project."

I need to get around to reading slaughter house 5 and guns steel and germs. almost done with freakonomics. That's an interesting take on things. People around here don't really like the message.
