avanta7The Powells book meme which came from a blog called BookLust who got it from some other blog (the link's in the BookLust post).
Bold the titles you've read, italicize the ones you might read,cross out the ones you won't, underline the ones on your book shelf [i.e. Mt. TBR in BookCrossing language], and place (parentheses) around the ones you've never even heard of.
The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger (I was never required to read this novel in school, and at age 44 I rather doubt I'd find Holden Caulfield a sympathetic character. More than likely I'd want to whip his whiny butt.)
The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - Douglas Adams
The Great Gatsby - Scott F. Fitzgerald
To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - J. K. Rowling (I once thought I'd read the Harry Potter novels, but at this late date I'm content with watching the movies as they come out)
The Life of Pi - Yann Martel (Not remotely interested)
Animal Farm: A Fairy Story - George Orwell
Catch 22 - Joseph Heller (This sat on Mt. TBR for years before I released it somewhere. I started to read it several times and may pick up another copy someday. Maybe.)
The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon (Not remotely interested)
Lord of the Flies - William Golding
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen (This is a novel I've tried once or twice over the years, but never got more than 30 or so pages into before being distracted by something else. I may pick it up again someday.)
1984 - George Orwell
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - J. K. Rowling
One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez (This book is on so many "best" lists that I feel I owe it to myself as a reader to at least try it someday.)
Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden
The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini
The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
Slaughterhouse 5 - Kurt Vonnegut (Another book that sat on Mt. TBR for ages before releasing it, and another that I figure I'll pick up again someday.)
The Secret History - Donna Tartt
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - C.S. Lewis
Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides
(Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell)
Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
Atonement - Ian McEwan (Showed up on the BX 100 and became a possibility.)
The Shadow of The Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon (Ditto)
The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway (I've never read any Hemingway. I ought to try something, don't you think?)
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath (Not remotely interested.)
Dune - Frank Herbert
Sula by Toni Morrison (If I ever read any Toni Morrison, it will probably be Beloved or The Bluest Eye.)
Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier (A distant maybe.)
The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo (Another distant maybe, mainly because the title intrigues me.)
White Teeth by Zadie Smith
The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton (Again, I've never read any Wharton and figure I should someday.)
What titles would you add to this list, because you love them or think they are worthy of note?
I have read all of these, love them, AND think they're worthy of note:
Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
Boy's Life by Robert R. McCammon
From the Teeth of Angels by Jonathan Carroll
Watership Down by Richard Adams
Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
