I found this meme and stole it, just to see how I did. Feel free to post your results too, it might be fun to see what everyone has read. The instructions are this: Look at the list of books below. Highlight in red the ones you’ve read, highlight in green the ones you might read, leave the ones you won’t read in black, italicize the ones on your book shelf, and place parentheses around the ones you’ve never even heard of.

Where did you get this list from?
Becky, I found it on some random blog that I ran across, and they had found it on some random other blog. It’s kind of a random list, a weird mix of books. And apparently I like the word random. 
I was going to post my list, but I couldn’t in your comments. Maybe I need to know HTML jargin. Anyway, I will post it in my blog when I finally get around to blogging again.
