You also missed one! Sheesh! What are we doing with our time when we should be reading every single book ever written? *winkies* (Actually, you're not missing anything. V.C. Andrews is rather a "youthful" a read, to say it the kindest way possible.)

You know, it's said that Benjamin Franklin had read every book in print when he was alive, a far simpler feat back then, but still utterly impressive. :D

HEE! You've read Good Omens! So, you've got half the reason my dog is named Crowley. :D

The question is, which ones can you recite by heart? ;p

I’m behind on the HP train as well. But they’re good, much better than the movies.

Hee! 3 of my favorites are on that list!

I wouldn't do very well on this meme, I've only read about half the list. Though of the ones I have read, I've done so multiple times.

Does it count that I just bought Good Omens but haven't actually read it yet? *g*
