Have You Read...?
I got this meme from Word Nerd who stole it from Kelli Parra. I love arbitrary measuring sticks so I decided to give it a go.
It was also stolen by Page Smith, another bookish type I know.
Instructions: In the list of books below:

- Put a cross (+) in front of the ones on your book shelf
- Mark an asterisk (*) beside the ones you’ve never heard of

Hey, I love lists like this.
Also, I've just started a blog and hope it's okay with you if I have yours listed as a link. I'd love it if you paid me a visit, too.
I joined in on the fun :)
A Prayer for Owen Meany is my all time favorite.
