indigo_rose99It is cartaufalous's fault. This list, not the fact that I have read so few and really feel no guilt. Except perhaps for His Dark Materials, which currently sits on my to-read shelf. The Thomas Hardy books I only read because of a class in college and would never willingly read on my own.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you started but did not finish.
3) Underline the books you LOVE (or loved once).
4) Reprint this list in your own blog so we can try and track down these people who’ve read 6 or less and force books upon them.
