I was browsing the Diddums’s blog and got tagged unawares.
The instructions seem simple:
Look at the list of books below & bold the ones you’ve read.
Italicize the ones you want to read and leave blank the ones that you aren’t interested in.
And...If you are reading this - tag! You’re it!
Muahahahaaaa...:)

33. Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand)#
Really, you don't. Unless you enjoy taking men made of straw and beating them up incessantly. It's a bit...heavy handed.
Most of these are movies, does that count? Me no good read word things.
The films count for half a book :) Bonus 1/4 book if they're subtitled...
Actually, reading the list I felt like a cheater, as a lot of these books were school (high school and univ) assigned...makes me look all cultured though :)
The Lovely Bones was easily on of the best books I've read in years. If you want to be manipulated that's the book for you. Apparently Peter Jackson has the rights and is working on the movie. You should definitely read it.

They called it 'an education', so they can't turn around now and tell us it doesn't count. :-).
Libraries are terrible for making us return books we've not finished yet... well, I know we can renew them, but my mood is usually ruffled after the rush to town to beat the deadline in the middle of something more important...
