The tag is almighty...thy will be done DP

Meme instructions: Look at the list of books below. Bold the ones you've read, italicize the ones you might read, cross out the ones you won't, underline the ones on your book shelf, and place parentheses around (or strike through) the ones you've never even heard of. However, this stupid blog box doesn't show me how to x-out, and I'm HTML stupid, so I will just write that next to them).

The DaVinci Code - Dan Brown...I just finished this two days ago, 'cause you KNOW I was'n-gunna-pay-no-$15-bucks-fora-big-book. Bless paperbacks. Just not THIS paperback. Would be a fascinating story, if the facts were straight...how cool would it be if they were? Otherwise this guy is one bad writer. His dialogue/characters are for caca. Good plot though.

The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger...Ok, I know I'm supposed to like this book. I really tried. But c'mon...poor little disenfranchised rich white boy. Really. My heart bleeds.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams. Brilliant, BRILLIANT. Three snorts.

The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald

To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee. Do you really have to ask? #1. Also the #1 most times I've bought a book b/c I have this terrible habit of leaving it places. Hopefully someone has been edified by my squirreliness (it's a word, I swear).

The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger...I tried Cari, I really did..for about 30 pages, and when I almost fell asleep in the bathtub because of it, I gave up. Although ironically I have a fine waiting me at the library for this one.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - J.K. Rowling...You're beautiful, you're beautiful it's true. Although this one is wrong, just so so wrong.

(Life of Pi - Yann Martel)

Animal Farm - George Orwell. Hey Stalin, Trotsky your pig ass over to the barn and get me some slop. That's about all I remember about the story, enough to fail at quippiness.

Catch 22 - Joseph Heller

The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien. 6th grade. Aweeesome dude. Teacher got mad at me b/c we were supposed to read a few chapters at a time and I finished it the first weekend. I think she was just mad that I could read faster then her.

(The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon)

Lord of the Flies - William Golding. I think teachers are trying to send their students a message about their behavior in general, definitely a passive aggressive assignment. Loathed this book at 16, who knows what I'd think now.

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austin. Now I will probably be crucified for this, but as much as I enjoy Austin, I can't help but feel that these are just clever versions of a bodice ripper sans bodice ripping.

1984 - George Orwell

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - J.K. Rowling. Love this book as well, but c'mon, how many times could all of this have been avoided if they'd just gone to Dumbledore in the beginning like Hermione said? Just like a man, not to listen to a sistah.

One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden

The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini

The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold. Very good, but just awful too.

Slaughterhouse 5 - Kurt Vonnegut

(The Secret History - Donna Tartt)

Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - C.S. Lewis...and oh was my sister appalled when she found out that despite having shared a room with her, and seeing the box set for years, I never touched it.

Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides

(Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell )

Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte Very good...just watch out for those brooding types, one way or the other you'll just end up with singed bangs.

(Atonement - Ian McEwan)

(The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Safon)

(X)The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway

(X)The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood. Nope, I read the one with the trampy friend.

(X) The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath. No way, ain't gonna do it. The poetry was painful enough.

(X) Dune - Frank Herbert. Nope again, but I sure enjoyed those big worms in the movie. Kinda makes you rethink the beach though, y'know?
