This book meme ...

I'm surprised, I read more than I thought I did ... 

 

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

Moby Dick is so famous... I really should read it someday!

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

I always loved this book... I don't know how many times I read it, only Huck Finn I read even more *giggles*

[addie71.livejournal.com]

Wow, you've read quite a lot too!

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

I love to read whenever there's a little time I get lost in written words ...

[romeny.livejournal.com]

I've read more of these than I realized thanks to class assignments and such. Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier is one of my favorites that I can happily re-read. Everytime I see something like this it reminds me I need to spend less time on the computer and more time reading. Sigh...

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I wish I could stretch my days to 48 hours ... just for reading :-)
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier ... is it a love story? I'm sorry I don't know anything about it. *sigh*

[romeny.livejournal.com]

It's a really the ultimate gothic romance novel, very well written, suspenseful, it has everything and is impossible to put down.

Here is a link to it.

Wow! it seems you love to read as much as I do, don't you? Thank you for your list!
This week I ordered Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie ... I'm still very curious ...
Have a great weekend, my dear!

[angharad001.livejournal.com]

Hello dearest

Yes, I love to read - Midnight's Children is brilliantly funny and perceptive . . . I need to reread it when I find the time :)

*hugs*

[aliensouldream.livejournal.com]

I love Wuthering Heights and The Little Prince too! And how did you escape Harry Potter? :-)

I think that you might like The Wind in the Willows.

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

LOL. Harry Potter... my godson lend me the books few weeks ago, I started with book 1 ... until now I couldn't bring myself to read on...

The Wind in the Willows ... thank you, sweetie. I ordered it just now. I love children books, it's unbelievable I missed this one.
