i’m one of those who finds pleasure in reading. however, i can’t pretend nor claim that i’m a voracious reader. haha, in fact, my "have read list" is rather pitiful. anyway, got the idea below from yam’s page.
Look at the list of books below:
- Bold the ones you’ve read
- Italicize the ones you want to read
- If you are reading this (and haven’t participated yet), tag, you’re it! (But only if you want to be it!)
- If there are any books on this list that I didn’t italicize and you think I should read, let me know in comments.
